Debian (5.0) lenny released

Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (lenny) has officially been released today. I'm very happy that the official release has happened now because I put a lot of energy into it. In particular, I ported Debian to Marvell's Orion platform and tried to make the installation experience of Debian on various Orion based NAS devices, especially the QNAP Turbo Station series, a good experience for users. I'm happy that lenny has officially been released and is therefore available to a wider range of users.

Releasing lenny also means that development is open again and that I can make some of the larger changes that weren't possible during the freeze in the last few months. One of my goals for the next release is to add support for Marvell's Kirkwood platform. We'll see some very interesting devices based on Kirkwood but unfortunately I cannot reveal any details yet.
