After two years of development, the Debian Project team proudly announced a few minutes ago, February 6th, the immediate availability for download of the final and stable version of the highly anticipated Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) Linux-based operating system.

Dubbed Squeeze, Debian 6.0 includes lots of updated applications, new features and improvements. Among these, we can mention the inclusion of four important desktop environments (KDE, GNOME, Xfce and LXDE), compatibility with FHS 2.3, support for nine architectures (32-bit PC / Intel IA-32 (i386), Intel Itanium (ia64), 64-bit PC / Intel EM64T / x86-64 (amd64), Sun/Oracle SPARC (sparc), Motorola/IBM PowerPC (powerpc), MIPS mipsel (little-endian) and (mips (big-endian)), IBM S/390 (s390) and ARM EABI (armel)).

Debian 6.0 also includes over 10,000 new packages such as the Chromium web browser, the Icinga open source monitoring solution, the Software Center package management front-end, the wicd network manager, the Corosync cluster framework and the lxc Linux container utilities.
