Yes, it is, and people visiting the Debian booth at Cebit confirmed that multiple times. (Not with such direct words, but they did talk about the long support for a stable release with security and stuff together with the mostly easy upgrades we have...). We are one of the Distribution having a long running and good support, if one does objective comparisons, which aren't based on one single number (years) only but take other things, like package numbers, architectures and also status of the security team (unpaid vs paid members in the distributions) into account. If it really annoys you so much that its no longer supported after March 31st - noone stops you from doing the work and providing security support for sarge in an archive you set up for it. I bet you will be surprised by the huge amount of work it will be. -- bye, Joerg Some NM: FTBFS = first time build from source, [...] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
