longroad

原定去年9月发布的 Debian GNU/Linux 5.0（代号为“Lenny”）正式版一如既往的跳票，不过今早放出了据说是最后一个RC版的RC2.(以前经过两个Beta和一个RC).相信5.0正式版很快就会stable了。Debian 5.0的主要软件包包括:Gcc 4.3.2 Glibc 2.7 Perl 5.10.0 kernel 2.6.26 Apache 2.2.3 PHP 5.2.6 Python 2.5.2 Vim 7.1等。可以从Etch 4.0完美升级到Lenny.

Rescue mode should be used with great care when software RAID arrays were in use on the system to rescue. The rescue mode scripts automatically assemble arrays, which could lead to data corruption in the presence of invalid or obsolete RAID superblocks.
