Dear all

Anyone has an idea what is the release cycle for Debian? I understand
six months is the standard for Ubuntu.

Also, when can binary for 4.0r6 be expected to be released?




Binary for 4.0r6 should be out any day now.  Might already be out.

Release schedule for Debian seems to be, whenever they feel like it. Something like twelve-eighteen months, but can stretch out.

Ubuntu is pushing it, releasing every six months.  In the opinion of some.

As a rule, Debian Testing is pretty usable six months after a new Stable release. So, if you are considering using Debian, go ahead. Then consider switching from the major release to the testing distribution after a suitable interval.
