Download Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.10

Version 5.0 of the Debian GNU/Linux operating system includes a new release, which has been given 5.0.10 as the version designation.

As usual, the update is available for various hardware platforms such as Alpha, ARM, i386, x86-64, ia64, MIPS, PowerPC, and Sparc. The announcement looks like this:

Updated Debian 5.0: 5.0.10 released

The Debian project is pleased to announce the tenth and final update of its oldstable distribution Debian 5.0 (codename “lenny”). This update mainly adds corrections for security problems to the oldstable release, along with a few adjustments for serious problems. Security advisories were already published separately and are referenced where available.

The alpha and ia64 packages from DSA 1769 are not included in this point release for technical reasons. All other security updates released during the lifetime of “lenny” that have not previously been part of a point release are included in this update.

Please note that the security support for the oldstable distribution ended in February 2012 and no updates have been released since that point.

Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won’t have to update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org are included in this update.

New installation media and CD and DVD images containing updated packages will be available soon at the regular locations.

Upgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing the aptitude (or apt) package tool (see the sources.list(5) manual page) to one of Debian’s many FTP or HTTP mirrors. A comprehensive list of mirrors is available at: http://www.debian.org/mirror/list

Please note that the oldstable distribution will be moved from the main archive to the archive.debian.org repository after March 24th 2012. After this move, it will no longer be available from the main mirror network. More information about the distribution archive and a list of mirrors is available at: archive
