After two years of development the Debian team has released version 6.0 of the Linux distribution Debian, generally considered one of the most solid Linux operating systems. It is used as the basis of numerous other great distributions, including Ubuntu.
The kernel of Debian 6.0 is entirely free and open source. That is, it uses only software licensed under GPL or similar open source licenses. All non-free firmware is now separated out from the Debian main archive. An unofficial set of installation CDs with the non-free firmware is available if needed.
New and updated software packages include KDE Plasma Workspaces and KDE Applications 4.4.5, GNOME 2.30, OpenOffice.org 3.2.1, GIMP 2.6.11, MySQL 5.1.49, Samba 3.5.6, Perl 5.10.1, OpenJDK 6b18, and the browser Chromium.
