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.

Interesting story, grateful for the submission and the editing. But can we keep the humour to the "from the xxx-yyy-zzz department" byline.
The headline itself is a bit confusing. I get that "squeezed" is a wordplay, hilarious stuff, but I feel like headlines should be informative; departmental bylines are there to contain the clever puns.

Agreed. The headline is an uninformative non-sequitur (or whatever the reverse is) at best, even after reading the summary.

Within traditional print media, there is a long-standing tradition of puns in headlines. For instance:0 6/chick.jpeg [pleated-jeans.com]

Yes (although that one's not really a pun even if it was deliberate, which it might easily not have been), but there's also a long-standing tradition of headlines, above all, giving some indication of what the story is about.
This one fails, entirely, to do so.

I apologise for that. The heading is as it was received and I had intended to change it - for some reason I forgot. I will now stand in the corner facing the wall for a suitable period of time.
I am not interested in knowing who people are or where they live. My interest starts and stops at our servers.

Haha no worries. It was a great pun, just confusing as a headline.
