| Debian gets new leader as Etch emerges |
|---|
The Debian GNU/Linux Project has a new leader. Sam Hocevar, a French developer, who has been with the project since 2000, was elected as leader for 2007-08 on Sunday.
Along with his election, the Project has also released the next version of the distribution which is named Etch. A day earlier, the last update of the previous version, Sarge, was released. Etch has taken 21 months of development, a marked improvement over the nearly 36 months that Sarge took.
