Debian Updates...

While I was away on holiday lots of changes arrived in Debian Sid. Over the weekend I updated all my Sid virtual machines to see what was going on. Looks like GRUB has finally been replaced by GRUB2, a new kernel has arrived and the boot sequence has evolved.

I normally check what is going on in Sid, so I'm not surprised when they happen in testing. Being on holiday means everything happened at the same time for me. At least things are mostly running okay now on both my testing and Sid systems.

  • New version of KDE - very cool, pretty usable now
  • New version of X and new nvidia drivers (well legacy ones)
  • GRUB to GRUB2 transition, still gfxpayload issues but works fine
  • Lots of new stuff and changes...
  • I'm even trying out a new light weight browser called Arora - very nice and fast
