After a few months of using Debian, I don't know the answer to that. I don't even know *if* distributions are updated after release. Is 1.3.1 supposed to be a stable upgrade to 1.3 in the same way that the Linux kernel 2.0.30 is a stable upgrade to 2.0.29? If so, will 1.3.2 be released to fix bugs in 1.3.1 while developpers are working on Debian 2.0? The FAQ (9.2 How can I keep my Debian system current?) talks about tracking the Debian archive, so I assume that having Debian 1.3 doesn't really mean anything unless I also say it's 1.3 dated from <insert-time-stamp-here>. Perhaps the upgrade scheme and version number scheme should be explained in www.debian.org somewhere, or perhaps I have missed something critical about Debian that I should know but don't. -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maurice-Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
