Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) has been released!

http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.0/

Use torrents for download the isos, please.

You can find the seeds under every architecture in the directories beginning with bt-

For instance:

http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.0/amd64/bt-cd/

And keep seeding ’til you’re bleeding ^_^

Edit to add this new Debian-installer page (within a brand new design site):

Good to see my favorite distro moving forward! I only wish they could have managed to ship Perl 5.12 rather than 5.10.

I love debian too, but I don't understand why they're so far behind.

OpenSSL in squeeze is v. 0.9.8o-4? http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/openssl

C'mon, guys, the latest current OpenSSL is already at v. 1.2.2

This is why I'm switching to ubuntu.

Out of curiosity, which feature from 1.2.2 do you need that 0.9.8 doesn't have?

Well, you might be disappointed if you switch to ubuntu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/openssl

edit: the latest OpenSSL release is 1.0.0, not 1.2.2. And development on the 0.9.8-series seems to be still active, as latest version on it was released on the same day that 1.0.0c

Anyone know if these images work with any of the popular USB key installers?

Tip: You can just raw copy (with dd) (most) Squeeze images to an usb-stick, and start installation from there.

Right. Specifically, at least the x86 CD/DVD images use isohybrid, which makes them simultaneously valid as burnable media images and as bootable disk images.

Also, Debian has combined 32-bit and 64-bit x86 images, so you don't have to decide in advance which one you need. Just download the multi-arch image and it will autodetect: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.0/multi-arch/iso-cd/...

And this release also coincides with a Debian website redesign, which makes the site both much more usable and much shinier. Notice that http://debian.org/ has a prominent link to the x86 multi-arch image in the upper right corner of the page.
