From the etch & 1/2 dept.:
The Debian project is pleased to announce the fourth update of its stable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 (codename etch). In addition to correcting several security problems and a few serious defects in the stable release, for the first time in Debian's history an update for a stable distrubtion also adds support for newer hardware by giving users the option to install newer drivers.
