Should I add anything (for example, about the mirror problems) to the announcement? Here is what I have thus far. I want to send it in a few hours, so please speak now or forever (or until the next release, whichever comes first) hold your peace.
Debian GNU/Linux 0.93 Release 6 is now available via anonymous FTP from ftp.debian.org in the directory /debian. Release 6 is the first official release of version 0.93, which has been under development for over a year, and it is the first official release from the Debian Project since January 1994. Release 5 of version 0.93, an unofficial BETA release, has been available to the public since March 1995, and has received rave reviews from its users. Debian GNU/Linux includes hundreds of software packages, including most GNU software, TeX, and the X Window System. Each package is an independent and modular unit, in that it is not associated with any particular release of the complete system or distribution scheme. Anyone can create their own packages and even upload them to be made available with the distribution or as a part of the distribution. Of course, Debian GNU/Linux is best known for its upgradability. It is upgradable incrementally and "in place". This means that users can upgrade individual packages or entire systems when they become available without having to reformat and reinstall. A user can choose to upgrade certain new or updated components as they are released, or she can choose to install an entire new release at once. The package maintenance system, called dpkg, makes sure that package conflicts and dependencies are resolved, and it intelligently updates configuration files to preserve any changes the user made before the upgrade process. Debian GNU/Linux 0.93 will be the last release that uses the a.out binary format. Version 1.0 and beyond will use the ELF binary format. As always, Debian GNU/Linux 0.93 will be upgradable to 1.0, without the need to reformat or reinstall.
