Cebit 2010: Debian shows Squeeze and Debian GNU/kFreeBSD
The project around the free Linux distro Debian will make a guest appearance at the Cebit 2010 on the Univention GmbH stand in Hall 2, booth B36.

The Debians will be holding a preview of the imminent release Debian GNU/Linux 6.0, codenamed Squeeze. The version will for the first time, validate Debian GNU/kFreeBSD for x86 and AMD64 processors as an official component of the release, and consists of a FreeBSD kernel with GNU C library and Userland.
