Debian news

There is both good news and bad news in the Bits from GNU/kFreeBSD maintainer report. The good news is that the port is very nearly complete. The bad news is that one of its maintainers is quitting.

Arnaud Vandyck has this report on Debian Java in Sarge, which provides an overview of what has changed between Woody and Sarge.

A bug has been discovered in the 3.1r0 CD/DVD images. "new installs from these images will have a commented-out entry in /etc/apt/sources.list for "http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates" rather than an active entry for "http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates", and thus will not get security updates by default" You should read the release notes before that Woody upgrade or new Sarge install too.

Roberto C. Sanchez has announced a Debian Package Customization HOWTO. This looks like a good starting place if you want to customize your Debian installation.
