Debian Etch 4.0r01

Debian mengeluarkan lagi rilis terbarunya dari versi stabilnya yaitu Debian Etch 4.0r1. Dimana dikatakan dalam webnya http://times.debian.net/1161-etch-r1 bahwa ini bukan merupakan versi baru, namun hanya sebagian besar update saja.

Berikut cuplikan berita dari Distrowatch.com

"The Debian project has announced the availability of the first revision of Debian GNU/Linux 4.0, code name "Etch": "The Debian project has updated the stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (code name Etch). This update adds security updates to the stable release, together with a few corrections to serious problems. As always, the first point release also corrects a few issues that have been noticed too late in the release process to stop the release, but still should be fixed. This point release for Etch also includes an updated release of the installer, which includes the following changes: kernels used in the installer have been updated to ABI 2.6.18-5; updated mirror list; support added for certain USB CD drives that were not being detected; incorrect setup of GKSu fixed when user chooses to install with the root account disabled...." Read the full release announcement for more details. Debian GNU/Linux 4.0r1 is available in the form of individual package updates from these FTP and HTTP mirrors."

Untuk yang mau update silahkah ganti repository ke :


deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ etch main
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ etch contrib
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ etch non-free

Karena repositori lokal di indonesia seperti kambing.vlsm.or.id dan debian.indikia.net.id belum mengupdate ke 4.0r1.

Yang paling mayor update disini adalah kernel menjadi : Linux version 2.6.18-5-486 (Debian 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch1) dari 2.6.18-4-486.

Namun jangan kaget bila ada Network Interface seperti WiLan bila menjadi tidak terdeteks (Umumnya pada laptop yg drivernya compile sendiri). Karena anda hanya perlu mengisntall ulang driver tersebut dengan mengcompile ulang drivernya.
