Debian developers are not so foolish as to believe that all the bugs are ever removed. When a Debian version is released as "Stable" that means that it is not going change except for backported fixes to security bugs. No new pacakges will be added to the release (though many will be available via backports) and packages will not be upgraded when new upstream releases come out (though again, many will be available via backports). -- John Hasler [email protected] Elmwood, WI USA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
