Sarge release now 6 June 2005

[mtron]

The final sarge release is coming closer and closer...

Status: Release is scheduled now for the 6th of June 2005 see here (http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/05/msg00020.html)

I'm really happy that sarge is now so close. My server waits...

I really do not see the big deal.

Even if they do release it, it still does not detect most hardware, and you have to do a bunch of manual configuring to get things to work, if you can get it to work.

I'm afraid I have spent too many hours trying to get it to work. Ubuntu has won me over.

The big deal is that what's good for debian is good for ubuntu. I personally never intend to install debian, and stick with ubuntu, but since ubuntu's built on debian, this can only be a good thing.

if i ever decide to set up a home server...

(sorry, but ubuntu just isn't too great for servers. I tried... it failed...)

I'm thinking of setting up an Ubuntu server (because Debian release cycles take ages).
So, I'm curious, what kind of problems did you find?

i no more switching to other

I've setup some ubuntuservers here at work and 2 at home.
They work like a charm.
No default ports open at install.
More recent and stable packages + security updates.

Isn't distrowatch.org being hosted on a warty server?

not exactly sure on that note however warty/hoary both performed well as servers on my old 500mhz celeron, although my church has a debian backup server of sarge testing... only because i installed it before i learned of ubuntu and its easy to manage with webmin and ssh. (yea i know i can use those in ubuntu)
