Debian GNU/Linux

The March 25 issue of the Debian Weekly News is out; it looks at the Project Leader election, Trusted Debian, live filesystem CDs, and several other topics.

Debian Planet looks at the Debian Desktop User's Guide, a project to bring up-to-date and effective documentation to new Debian users.

In this Linux Journal article, the author installs and configures Debian's sid (unstable) on his laptop. "Debian has a reputation for being difficult to install. Although this is not necessarily true, Debian's installer is a far cry from the fully automated installers of distributions such as Mandrake and Red Hat. However, there is a benefit to your extra labor: much more control of how the system is laid out, which packages are installed and which kernel features are enabled or disabled. This gives you the freedom to have a system completely tailored to your specific needs."

Debian Planet covers MiniWoody, a modified and updated version of the Debian Woody 3.0 release in order to fit on the confines of a 180MB CD.

A new version of Debian Developer's Packages Overview has been announced. The new version fixes most of the opened bugs and provides many new features.
