Something curious in the article: they state they're going to run "Debian 6" on these laptops. That's Debian Squeeze, which just became "oldstable" with the release of Wheezy (7.0). Squeeze will get security updates for about a year, after which support for it will be dropped altogether. I'm guessing it's because Wheezy got released just a week ago, so perhaps they want a release with a longer track record. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) Vassar College Jun 5 - Adventures in Debian Packaging Jul 10 - Mad Science Fair - Open Hardware Expo Oct 2 - OpenFlow: Open Standard for Networking Hardware
