We are mere hours away from the largest IRC party Debian has ever thrown, as the release of 2.0 "hamm" will happen: in Austrailia: at 10:00 AM ACT on Friday Jul 24 in Europe: at 0:00 midnight UTC on Friday Jul 24 in America: at 8:00 PM EDT on Thursday Jul 23 5:00 PM PDT Debian's developers and users are already gathering on IRC channel #debian, irc.debian.org. Everyone is invited for the Great Event, which will begin 2 hours before and probably last well into the night -- or afternoon as the case may be. There's also a live countdown page at http://www.netgod.net/. For new users, the install floppies will be on all of Debian's mirrors at the moment of release. And since irc.debian.org is linked with the Linux Internet Support Cooperative (http://www.linpeople.org/), there will be experts on IRC to help with things like ppp, sound, and X setup. People with Debian releases older than this hamm can upgrade easily after installing the next-generation package manager, APT, which was just put on Freshmeat. (Its perhaps better known by its secret codename, "deity".) To join us, point your favorite IRC client at a server that sounds close: irc.us.debian.org irc.eu.debian.org irc.au.openprojects.net irc.linux.org The long wait is over. :-) --------------------- PGP E4 70 6E 59 80 6A F5 78 63 32 BC FB 7A 08 53 4C __ _ Debian GNU Johnie Ingram <johnie@netgod.net> mm mm / /(_)_ __ _ ___ __ "netgod" irc.debian.org mm mm / / | | '_ \| | | \ \/ / m m m / /__| | | | | |_| |> < Yes, I'm Linus, and I am your God. mm mm \____/_|_| |_|\__,_/_/\_\ -- Linus, keynote address, Expo 98 GO BLUE -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-announce-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
