Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 Released

Debian GNU/Linux version 2.2, aka Potato, has been deemed stable and released for public consumption. Version 2.2 brings to the table a new (and much needed) installation system, simplified X configurator, new Linux Kernel, 1200 new packages, and over 800 package updates. Debian 2.2 also features new networking management tools and better international support. Those interested may download the release from FTP mirrors or grab the CD images.

As always, the easiest way to upgrade is to simply use apt. For more information about Debian 2.2, dedicated to developer Joel "Espy" Klecker, read the release notes. Next up: Woody.
