This is just to announce the imminent completion of a brand-new Linux release,
which I’m calling the Debian Linux Release. This is a release that I have put
together basically from scratch; in other words, I didn’t simply make some
changes to SLS and call it a new release. I was inspired to put together this
release after running SLS and generally being dissatisfied with much of it,
and after much altering of SLS I decided that it would be easier to start
from scratch. The base system is now virtually complete (though I’m still
looking around to make sure that I grabbed the most recent sources for
everything), and I’d like to get some feedback before I add the “fancy” stuff.
Since 1993, Debian has grown into one of the largest and most successful volunteer software projects in the world, and forms the basis for projects like Ubuntu and Raspbian, the default operating system for the Raspberry Pi. Even if you’ve never heard of Debian, there’s a pretty good chance you use something that relies on it.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

woohoo!
good job ian! (and deb!)
back when people debated a.out vs. elf, i got debian 1.3 in the mail on cds from cheap*bytes… best $15 i ever sent away in the mail! and they haven’t stopped the awesome.
