D'ouh. Of course, I meant to write "that's more than two years in total". > :-( > is the life cycle of debian such short? Why 'short'? Take a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian#Release_history Lenny was released in February 2009. If squeeze is released, say in October 2010, Lenny will go out of support in October 2011. That's a lifecycle of two years and eight months. > isn't lenny available for a long time now? i understand it is a major > release. > and isn't squeez a major release too? Yes and yes.
