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.

    This is excellent news. I manage hundreds of servers (virtual and physical) basically by myself and I can say Squeeze has been the most problem-free OS ever. No other Debian release, except maybe for the old Potato, nor any other OS has ever shown such a level of stability and security. On top of it, it has built-in support for the awesomeness that is OpenVZ.

    Good job, everyone involved!
