Debian GNU/Linux

Bdale Garbee has sent out a final "Bits from the DPL" posting on his last day as Debian Project Leader. "Debian is perhaps the finest example in the world today of the community development model at work. It has been a great privilege to serve for the last year as your elected Project Leader, and your continuing enthusiasm for our vision of Debian as a Universal Operating System is very gratifying!"

Martin Michlmayr provides his first message as Debian Project Leader. "This is my first message as DPL. My term has officially started today and I look forward to acting as your DPL for the next 12 months. The leader@debian.org alias now points to my address and I encourage you to contact me there with your ideas or concerns. As I have stated in my platform, I think that communication is very important. I will try to keep you up to date with what's going on in the community so expect more messages from me in the future. I will also encourage other people to make announcements or give status reports when appropriate."

This Debian Planet article steps through the process of installing Debian remotely, over an existing Linux install. "The situation I found myself in a few weeks ago was with the purchase of a hosted system running another popular flavor of Linux. Unfortunately, they did not offer manual assistance, so I had to find my own way to get my server of choice installed."

Raphael Hertzog reports on changes to the Package Tracking System.
