| Lenny eyes Valentine's release |
Feb. 03, 2009
 Debian's long-delayed 5.0 release (aka, "Lenny") will likely launch over the Valentine's-slash-President's day weekend, five months late, but with a lusty wink.

The Debian Installer team's Otavio Salvador today released a second "release candidate" installer for Lenny. Then, Adeodato Simï followed with news that the Release Team hopes to launch Lenny over the Valentine's Day weekend -- making it officially five months late.
Lenny was originally slated for release last September. Debian would not be Debian, however, without release delays.
