metad news
It seems that next version of gnewsense will be based on Debian. This means we’ll get some interesting stuff. Things like debian installer (lean and mean, yay), eglibc, and even FreeBSD kernel. This news really surprised me (in a good way) since it was just told casually on the list without any formal announcement whatsoever. They probably announced it on the channel.
I kinda think that the new Debian release policy played an important part on switching base from Ubuntu to Debian (there is no certainty on this. Purely my presumption). Well let us hope that with this new Debian release policy, the packages will be as latest as possible (not as latest as Ubuntu but still). And of course, I also hope that my favorite mirror will host this.
