News Comment All comments on news story: Debian 4.0 finally arrives... does anyone care? It's a reply to comment: I care by: zvonSully  I use debian because I don't like Ubuntu non-free packages strategy(difficult to get the system play mp3,wma;) SJVN-Hyde by: Bob Robertson  Oh look, it's another article by SJVN-Hyde. See how he says everything is so-so, so just use Microsoft. I care, as well by: xJlM  I've had etch installed on a partition for around a year now, and I've got nothing but good to say about it. People complain about petty things like being slow to boot, but haven't even tried to optimize the boot process. And now I've got lenny to play with. As far as the pro-Microsoft article, what did you expect from a pig other than a grunt? Ah, but many others certainly DO care by: nycace36  ... and they join good company too!! (see the separate links at one of the Debian press coverage sites http://wiki.debian.org/PressCoverage2007) If nothing else, Etch's official release serves as a milestone of sorts. SJVN derides this, yet the impetus of this new release of the *original* GNU/Linux distribution somehow did indeed affect him enough to write his Linux-Watch piece. Note that according to the DistroWatch.com HitsPerDay, the official Debian Etch release has been out just half-a-week and yet already Debian is #2 on the 7-day H.P.D. ranking, with SJVN's "community Linuxes of the future" at numbers 5 and 6 respectively. FYI as something of a purist, it would really be "community Linux *distros* of the future", not "community *Linuxes* of the future" as SJVN mistakenly writes at the conclusion of his piece.
