In the Mar 94 Issue of the Linux Journal, there was an article on the Debian Distribution which indicated the official release would take place the beginning of March, 1994. I'm sure this has been delayed in order to include both version 1.0 of the kernel and XFree 2.1, plus probably a lot of other stuff as well. Can anyone say when they think the official release will take place?

The release was essentially waiting for Linux 1.0. (I can just hear the BETA testers thinking, ``yeah, right!'' I'm full of excuses. :)
The next release of Debian (version 0.92) will almost certainly be announced to c.o.l.a., so I suppose that you could call it an ``official'' release. Then again, Debian has been FTPable to the general public since the end of January; would that constitute an ``official'' release? Probably not. But the version of Debian that will be announced is still BETA... ah, never mind. :)

Any word on when the CD will be out (one the Debian group approves)? Will it still be available from the FSF, with the Debian group supplying disk/tape versions?
Also, does Debian have a fancy color menu-driven installation program like Slackware 1.1.2?
