Debian 6.0 was released today February 6th, 2011. The release included many major changes, described in their press release and the Release Notes.

To obtain and install Debian, see the installation information page and the Installation Guide. To upgrade from an older Debian release, see the instructions in the Release Notes.

On a side note I’ve been using Squeeze on my Viglen MPC-L for quite some time now and it’s proven to be a very light and stable release. At least they still support i586 hardware. I’ve just inherited an old Packard Bell EasyNote laptop (K6-2 550MHz with 256Mb RAM) so I guess I’ll be Debianising that this weekend.

Many thanks again to all the guys and girls who’ve made Debian 6.0 a reality.
