Security Support for Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 to be discontinued on February 15th

One year after the release of Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 alias 'lenny' and
nearly three years after the release of Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias
'etch' the security support for the old distribution (4.0 alias
'etch') is coming to an end next month. The Debian project is proud
to be able to support its old distribution for such a long time and
even for one year after a new version has been released.

The Debian project has released Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 alias 'lenny' on
the 14th of February 2009. Users and Distributors have been given a
one-year timeframe to upgrade their old installations to the current
stable release. Hence, the security support for the old release of
4.0 is going to end in February 2010 as previously announced.

Previously announced security updates for the old release will
continue to be available on security.debian.org.

まぁ、リリースが2007年4月8日というから随分と続いたものだ。Debianは安定感としては抜群だから。
で、我が家の玄箱etchだが、これはこれで壊れるまで使うかなぁ。フラッシュROMにu-boot書き込みが必要で(その他の方法もあるようだけど)、すでにlenny化した玄箱が今一つ起動時に不安があり、解決出来ていないのだった。
