Take a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian#Release_history Lenny was released in February 2009. If squeeze is released, say in October 2010, Lenny will go out of support in October 2011. That's a lifecycle of two years and eight months. > isn't lenny available for a long time now? i understand it is a major > release. > and isn't squeez a major release too? Yes and yes. Major releases have code names, point releases just increment the version number by a fraction. J. -- When I am at nightclubs I enjoy looking at other people and assessing their imagined problems.

Two years as stable and one year as old-stable, but we are talking about Debian, so those times and days can get stretched a bit. :-) -- Jimmy Johnson Debian Squeeze at sda9 Registered Linux User #380263 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
