Debian releases are few and far between, irritatingly so. It’s great news to see that Debian 4.0 - named ‘Etch’ - was released 8 April 2007. It looks to have plenty of good upgrades, including Xorg, udev, etc. See the release notes for details.

For annoying political reasons, Debian doesn’t include Mplayer. See the Multimedia Debian Packages for a solution. Kudos to Debian for this milestone.

If your searching for a rock solid, well thought out, free operating system. Debian is a great choice.
