I've been using debian for a long time and I tell everyone I can about it. I've installed the curent release on several machines and I'm very happy with it.
The constant delays in releasing the thing have to stop. I know that Ian M. had hard drive problems. That's unfortunate, and certainly cause for some difficulty in getting the release out the door. However, the Debian project did post to a double handful of newsgroups and mailing lists a ``press release'' which firmly announced a release date. Doesn't that mean anything to anyone? I think it's a little shameful to make an announcement like that in public and then, almost a month after the announced date, still not to have even acknowledged publically that the date has come and gone. At some point you have to just say ``that's it, warts and all.'' Please make it soon. Thanks, Bill Gribble
