Debian 11 ‘bullseye’ due for release on 14th August
Version 11 of Debian GNU/Linux, codenamed ‘bullseye‘, is due for release on 14th August The Register reports.
A new Debian release is an important event in the world of Linux and free and open source software as it doesn’t happen all that frequently, the last version release being over 2 years ago.
Not only is Debian an important distribution in its own right, but is also influential since it froms the basis for many others including the various flavours of Ubuntu (e.g. Kubuntu, Xubuntu, etc. Ed.), Mint, Devuan, Knoppix, Tails, Raspbian, Pop!_OS and SteamOS, to name but a few.
A post to Debian’s developer announcements list stated: “We plan to release on 2021-08-14”.
It’s a little over 2 years since the last stable Debian version, Debian 10 or ‘buster‘, was made available for download.
