That means Woody is approaching two years. (http://www.debian.org/News/2000/20000815) Slink was released March 9, 1999. That means potato took 18 months. (http://www.debian.org/News/1999/19990309) Hamm was released July 24, 1998. That means slink took a little over 7 months. (http://www.debian.org/News/1998/19980724) Debian 1.3 was released June 2, 1997. That means Hamm took almost 14 months. (http://www.debian.org/News/1997/19970602) Before this, the News section does not tell. Woody will be the longest Debian release cycle to date. Hopefully for ever.
