I know a lot of you use squeeze so its probably best place to ask Regards -- Amar ÄosiÄ amar.cosic(a)gmail.com amar(a)amar.ba +38761240095 http://www.amar.ba

As of today, there's 594 Release-critical bugs*1 concerning the next release (Squezze to be named "Stable"). If you want to know more about Debian, its current status and its release cycle, have a look at http://www.debian.org/doc/ *1 Source: http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

However, my personal biggest issue with Squeeze as a KDE user is the forced migration to KDE4 (not really a Debian issue but a KDE one as there is no longer upstream support for KDE3). I have great hopes for KDE 4.4 and like the new paradigm but the shipping KDE 4.3 still lacks basic functionality. Tim Pearson has launched the Trinity project (http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net - the site might be down due to recent very severe weather) to continue development of KDE 3.5 for Ubuntu and is willing to put together a Debian repository. That would be my last major reservation for Squeeze until KDE 4.4 or 4.5 ships - John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
