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 am in awe the NCommander has responded to my lowly post! But the point, such as it was, still stands. Yes, Debian stable can be few and far between, but that is the point. Support is another issue, leading us into some kind of non-free software corporate hell of desks of Hell(P). Surely you see what I am saying? Or Shirley I should stop calling you "surely"? Yes, I am confused, but it is all in service of the final revolution,
