Steve McIntyre posted some bits from the Debian CD team. With the upcoming release of Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 Lenny, Blu-ray Disc images will be available as well as CD and DVD images.

Debian project leader Steve McIntyre has dismissed claims that the next stable version of Debian – codename Lenny – could be delayed until June 2009.

A little more than three months after he became leader of the Debian GNU/Linux project, Steve McIntyre is beginning to realise that it can be a little scary at times.

Steve McIntyre: It's been a while since my last bits post, rather longer than it should have been. Sorry. I blame the idiot who suggested a big survey of the teams in Debian.

Oh, wait...
