Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 released

Debian is 1/2 of my Linux power combo. Debian servers, Ubuntu desktops. Love it.<p>Unlike Ubuntu, Debian's release cycle is so sporadic (and long) that I often forget they're working on a new release. Needless to say I was surprised and excited by this announcement. Props to the Debian team!

I'm glad to see SELinux finally available as standard. This is one thing I've been missing as part of my security hardening on my Debian servers. It gives better peace of mind.<p>Oh! OpenJDK is now included as well. This just gets better and better.

This is good because it means unstable will be unfrozen again. Hopefully we will have linux-2.6.28 and ghc-6.10 in unstable soon :)

Wow: another full release cycle of KDE 3.5 in Debian. At this rate KDE 5 will be out before Debian ships KDE 4 by default...

Does anyone know of any major changes in this version?

It if for hobbyists, I think. It cannot compete with ubuntu as desktop, because of money, and it is ridiculous as server compared to CentOS.
