We have been beta-testing the 1.1 ELF release with our active user community (those who are reading [email protected]) for several weeks. In a few days, we will widen the beta-test to the entire Internet. If you are interested in participating in this beta-test, you might want to start mirroring ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/unstable/ , so that you have the beta-test files on hand when the announcement is released. If you plan to run a permanent mirror, please contact Matt Bailey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for a mirror log-in. If you are a CD manufacturer, please wait for the software to go from beta to released status before you include it on your CD. The new Debian release can be favorably compared to very best of commercial Linux distributions. Debian is a non-profit organization dedicated to free software. Any person or organization can participate as a peer with all other developers. There is no fee or consortium membership required. Please watch this space for the beta-test announcement.
