Revision as of 06:12, 30 June 2005

The stable distribution of Debian is the version which was released for wide use. This means it was tested for a long time before enough problems were corrected to obtain what the Debian release process deems a stable operating system.

Debian releases stable when they are assured that fewer peculiar problems will occur with a new release than with the former one.

Versions and codenames

Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 sarge is currently the stable release of Debian.

The Debian stable releases and their codenames include:
