Note that Debian doesn't guarantee 2 years. It would take some remarkably quick releases (harkening back to the buzz-rex-bo releases) to give some release less than 2 years, but I suppose it could happen. (The repositories are /only/ 300 times the size of the bo repository.) [OT] Have the Wheezy release goals been published? I hope that multi-arch APT and wide (>%80 of main) package support is one of them. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
