I'm not really satisfied about the result layout, but I'm still releasing Padre v0.3.0. The code is much, much cleaner, and the full dependency tree is calculated at once. I only need to eliminate the double patches out of the resulted table, but that's for later.

Anthony Towns, release manager of Debian, posted a lengthy mail in which he intends to release Debian 3.1, aka Sarge, in december this year.

Netcraft posted a small article in which they see Debian as the second largest Linux distribution (preceeded by Redhat), and that almost one third of all Debian servers are located in France. Que ?

RJ Tarpley's Coffee Company has dedicated a special selection of gourmet coffees to help benefit The Mozilla Foundation. Owner, Ron Tarpley is a self described 'Mozilla Geek' and heavy coffee drinker so the marriage between the two seemed natural. Mozilla users simply go to www.rjtarpleys.com/mozillacoffee.html\ and select a coffee. All of the 'Lizard Coffees' are 100% Arabica beans and are carefully micro-roasted in small batches. RJ Tarpley's will split half the profit on all orders directly to The Mozilla Foundation. Tarpley points out that if someone would like to choose another selection from his site that is not on the Mozilla page to simply put a note in the comments to support Mozilla and The Foundation will get the credit. 'I think this will be a great fundraiser for the foundation because I know that the folks who spend a lot of time on the computer drink a lot of coffee.'

Someone care to make a Java pun ;) ?

I never seen this happen to a plane : an Easyjet Boeing 737 had to return to Geneva after 10 minutes in a hail storm. The plane was severly damaged, but incredibly enough, the pilot managed to land the wrecked plane.

Debian GNU/Linux is celebrating its 10th birthday. Check debCONF for the birthday party nearest you! In case you're wondering what makes Debian so special, here''s a roundup of all special Debian things :

Debian's greatest achievement is creating a 100% free ( as in beer and free speech ), community supported GNU/Linux operating system, from an activist's point of view.

From a user's point of view, Debian's greatest achievement is having an "unstable" branch that is as stable as some other dist's releases, and of course apt-get, the wonderfull installation tool that is slowly being adopted by other distro's.

From a CS student's point of view, Debian's great achievement may be the package creation and management tools.

For sociologists, it may be the democratic nature of the project.

For me, it's simply that I get to use an OS that sucks less.
