All in all it's almost 3 years since last release, so that's natural that most things has been changed. Trusted users know what sarge is and how long it took to prepare it so the version number is probably the least significant part of it. New users don't know our numbering scheme so this fact doesn't matter for there too. And in fact Debian is more known for its toy-story-based naming. How many times did you hear that someone said that he/she is using Debian 3.0? Most people say they use potato/woody/sarge. > Anyway, time is too late and there are things more important > to be done. ACK ;) regards fEnIo -- ,''`.
