Debian GNU/Linux namely releases version 5.0 aka Lenny. The last release (version 4.0 code named Debian Etch) was release almost 2 years ago!

Debian is infamous for its long release dates. It took almost 3 years for the jump for Woody to Sarge to happen. Though Sarge to Etch happened in a mere 22 months. Having said that, Debian is widely respected for rolling out a robust and secure Linux distribution that supports more architectures that other distributions. And the latest official stable release “Lenny” is no different.

Although Debian is a rock solid Linux distribution, it doesn’t come bundled with the latest versions of softwares. So if you are looking bleeding-edge or even leading edge you it will be up to you to install and configure the latest and greatest, but you can feel confident that you have a solid operating system to start from.

Lenny is the first Debian distribution with a Live system that allows you to try Debian without installing it on your computer’s hard disk. You can get Debian on Live CD, USB Sticks, or boot if of the net.

Debian GNU/Linux version 5.0 (Lenny) can be downloaded at Debian.org.
