For those of you who thought Debian Stable wasn't stable enough, Michael Larabel over at Phoronix is reporting that Debian 6.0 "Squeeze" is being turned into an LTS release.

Regular security support for Debian 6.0 "Squeeze" was set to end after next month, but now the Debian developers have decided to provide security support for this 2011 Debian Linux release until February 2016 - marking five years since the original Debian 6.0 release.

    I'm curious, is this decision made because the new Gnome is such a mess? I ask this as a CentOS user who has decided to stay with the 6.x line for as long as possible (support ends in 2020) because the upcoming 7.x branch with Gnome3 is horrible.

    There is MATE in testing, though.
