Debian 6.0 Squeeze released

February 6th, 2011

After 24 months of constant development, the Debian Project is proud to present its new stable version 6.0 (code name Squeeze). Debian 6.0 is a free operating system, coming for the first time in two flavours. Alongside Debian GNU/Linux, Debian GNU/kFreeBSD is introduced with this version as a technology preview.

Debian 6.0 includes the KDE Plasma Desktop and Applications, the GNOME, Xfce, and LXDE desktop environments as well as all kinds of server applications. It also features compatibility with the FHS v2.3 and software developed for version 3.2 of the LSB.

Debian runs on computers ranging from palmtops and handheld systems to supercomputers, and on nearly everything in between. A total of nine architectures are supported by Debian GNU/Linux: 32-bit PC / Intel IA-32 (i386), 64-bit PC / Intel EM64T / x86-64 (amd64), Motorola/IBM PowerPC (powerpc), Sun/Oracle SPARC (sparc), MIPS (mips (big-endian) and mipsel (little-endian)), Intel Itanium (ia64), IBM S/390 (s390), and ARM EABI (armel).

Debian 6.0 Squeeze introduces technical previews of two new ports to the kernel of the FreeBSD project using the known Debian/GNU userland: Debian GNU/kFreeBSD for the 32-bit PC (kfreebsd-i386) and the 64-bit PC (kfreebsd-amd64). These ports are the first ones ever to be included in a Debian release which are not based on the Linux kernel. The support of common server software is strong and combines the existing features of Linux-based Debian versions with the unique features known from the BSD world. However, for this release these new ports are limited; for example, some advanced desktop features are not yet supported.

Another first is the completely free Linux kernel, which no longer contains problematic firmware files. These were split out into separate packages and moved out of the Debian main archive into the non-free area of our archive, which is not enabled by default. In this way Debian users have the possibility of running a completely free operating system, but may still choose to use non-free firmware files if necessary. Firmware files needed during installation may be loaded by the installation system; special CD images and tarballs for USB based installations are available too. More information about this may be found in the Debian Firmware wiki page.

Furthermore, Debian 6.0 introduces a dependency based boot system, making system start-up faster and more robust due to parallel execution of boot scripts and correct dependency tracking between them. Various other changes make Debian more suitable for small form factor notebooks, like the introduction of the KDE Plasma Netbook shell.

This release includes numerous updated software packages, such as:

KDE Plasma Workspaces and KDE Applications 4.4.5
an updated version of the GNOME desktop environment 2.30
the Xfce 4.6 desktop environment
LXDE 0.5.0
X.Org 7.5

PostgreSQL 8.4.6
MySQL 5.1.49
GNU Compiler Collection 4.4.5
Linux 2.6.32
Apache 2.2.16
Samba 3.5.6
Python 2.6.6, 2.5.5 and 3.1.3
Perl 5.10.1
PHP 5.3.3
Asterisk 1.6.2.9
Nagios 3.2.3
Xen Hypervisor 4.0.1 (dom0 as well as domU support)

Wurde auch Zeit - Mutige vor

Das ist ja das scheene am Debian. Man muss nicht mutig sein, denn das Projekt setzt voll auf Stabilität zum Release. Dafür verzichtet man auch gern auf aktuellste Pakete und kurze Entwicklungszeiten.

Kann mich an kein Release von Debian erinnern bei dem ich mir gewünscht hätte nicht das Upgrade gemacht zu haben.

Die Vorbereitung zur Migration ist schon im Gange . Diesmal so umfassend das auch alle ollen Volumes auf aktuellen Stand gebracht werden. (Da haben schon einige ein gefühltes Jahrhundert auf dem Buckel)

Mach gerad auf ner VM ne Testinstallation mit dem Grafischen Installer. Macht n guten Eindruck bisher.

JA! Endlich! Juhu! Super! *freu*

Gleich mal die i386 Version ziehen! Auf meinem Opteron läuft schon sqeeze, muss jetzt nur noch auf den Pentium4

Hab gerade bei ner google Suche nach FreeBSD kFreeBSD entdeckt.

Ist ja ne lustige Idee ... FreeBSD-Kernel und sonst das "normale" Linux außenrum. Immerhin kommt man so zu nem stabilen/getesteten integriertem ZFS.

Gefällt mir irgendwie die Idee.

Phoronix hats auch mal gegeneinander gebencht:

Meistens ist Linux schneller, aber das wird sicher noch. Aufgefallen ist mir v.a. der schlechte SSL-Wert, da vermute ich mal, dass BSD noch kein AESNI unterstützt (CPU war ein Bulldozer-Opteron, der das kann).

Hats vielleicht schon mal einer getestet?
