DRAFT: Debian 2.0 "Hamm" Released
OK, proofread and comment please. I'm looking to flesh out the 'what is
contains' section especially. I'd also like to be somewhat consistent with
the LJ ad we're working on (http://www.novare.net/~ean/debads/debian-ad.ps).
Release time is Friday July 24, 0:00 GMT I believe, so please comment soon.
I took s a little fro Brian's beta announcement as well.
Thanks,
Nils.
