Debian -versiot !

Debianista on useita versioita ja kun versioilla on sekä numerot että nimet niin vähempikin tekee asian vaikeaksi muistaa !

käynnissä olevan debianin versionumeron näkee näin (komentoriviltä):

cat /etc/debian_version

Esimerkiksi Knoppix 6.4.3:ssa (joka pohjautuu debianiin) em. cat -komento tulostaa:

$ cat /etc/debian_version
squeeze/sid

$

vastaavasti etchissä em. cat tulostaa "4.0".

Alla luettelo julkaisuista nimineen ja versionumeroineen:

Ja mikähän sitten olisi paras tapa listata (esim packages.debian.org -sivulta) kaikki määrättyyn debian -versioon kuuluvat paketit ja niiden versionumerot ?
