---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Martin Schulze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Jul 24, 2006 6:43 AM Subject: Upcoming Release of Debian GNU/Linux 4.0
...will ship with Linux 2.6.17 as itsdefault kernel. This kernel will be used across all architectures and on the installer. A later version may be selected during a review in October. ================== Please see http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2006/07/msg00188.html And, as Brian Durant pointed out, this isn't just about the iMac G5 but also the Power Mac G5 (PowerMac 9.1) as well. In fact, Debian chokes on most of Apple's newer PowerPC machines. I and many others had been looking to Etch as a solution, but it won't provide one with 2.6.17 and I'm not looking forward to the potential of waiting through the lifetime of another stable release before gaining support. It's important, IMHO, that 2.6.17 _not_ be selected as the default kernel but rather 2.6.18 (or later) for the reasons discussed on debian-powerpc... even if that means delaying the release of Etch. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
