This is good news!
Debian Squeeze first release candidate is ready to download.
Here the press release:
This release candidate adds support for the Lao and Sinhala languages. The keyboard support for Finnish has been fixed. In total 70 languages are activated in the installer for Squeeze and for at least 57 of these the whole installation process is translated.
The Linux kernel used by the installer has been updated to the latest version of 2.6.32 available in Squeeze. The handling of non-free firmware has had some usability issues fixed.
This release candidate adds support for three extra computer systems: YDL PowerStation (PowerPC), QNAP TS-119P+ and TS-219P+ (ARM). This release candidate has also seen several improvements on PowerPC machines, including fan control improvements, IDE support for Efika 5200B, network support for IBM Power 6 and later System P boards and use of unique filesystem identifiers and labels for more reliable booting.
Major improvements of the Squeeze installer over the Debian 5.0 Lenny installer include the automatic installation of recommended packages, a rewrite of the localechooser component (which language, timezone and mirror settings are based on), btrfs and ext4 file system support (while ext3 remains the default file system), and easier usage of partitions for software RAID, LVM and crypto setups. Besides supporting more hardware, the Debian Installer can now also be used to install a system based upon the FreeBSD kernel, which also supports the ZFS file system.
