>   Debian GNU/Linux 0.93 Release 6 is now available via anonymous FTP
>from ftp.debian.org in the directory /debian.  Release 6 is the first
>official release of version 0.93, which has been under development
>for over a year, and it is the first official release from the Debian
>Project since January 1994.  Release 5 of version 0.93, an unofficial
>BETA release, has been available to the public since March 1995, and
>has received rave reviews from its users.
>
>   Debian GNU/Linux includes hundreds of software packages, including
>most GNU software, TeX, and the X Window System.  Each package is an
>independent and modular unit, in that it is not associated with
>any particular release of the complete system or distribution scheme.
>Anyone can create their own packages and even upload them to be made
>available with the distribution or as a part of the distribution.
>
>   Of course, Debian GNU/Linux is best known for its upgradability.
>It is upgradable incrementally and "in place".  This means that users
>can upgrade individual packages or entire systems when they become
>available without having to reformat and reinstall.  A user can choose
>to upgrade certain new or updated components as they are released, or
>she can choose to install an entire new release at once.  The package
>maintenance system, called dpkg, makes sure that package conflicts and
>dependencies are resolved, and it intelligently updates configuration
>files to preserve any changes the user made before the upgrade process.
>
>   Debian GNU/Linux 0.93 will be the last release that uses the a.out
>binary format.  Version 1.0 and beyond will use the ELF binary format.
>As always, Debian GNU/Linux 0.93 will be upgradable to 1.0, without
>the need to reformat or reinstall.
