Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 updated and support for newer hardware added

The Debian project is pleased to announce the fourth update of its
stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (codename etch). In addition
to correcting several security problems and a few serious defects in the
stable release, for the first time in Debian's history an update for a
stable distrubtion also adds support for newer hardware by giving users
the option to install newer drivers.

Existing Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 installation CDs and DVDs can continue to
be used to install this update. After installation, upgrading via an
up-to-date Debian mirror will cause any out of date packages to be
updated. However, users of the network-console installation method are
strongly encouraged to update their media, see the "Debian Installer"
portion of this announcement for more information.

Security Support for Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 to be terminated on March 31st

One year after the release of Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias 'etch' and
nearly three years after the release of Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 alias
'sarge' the security support for the old distribution (3.1 alias
'sarge') is coming to an end next month. The Debian project is proud
to be able to support its old distribution for such a long time and
even for one year after a new version has been released.

The Debian project has released Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias 'etch' on
the 8th of April 2007. Users and Distributors have been given a
one-year timeframe to upgrade their old installations to the current
stable release. Hence, the security support for the old release of
3.1 is going to end in March 2007 as previously announced.

Previously announced security updates for the old release will continue
to be available on security.debian.org.
