Etch has come a long way since the Sarge release.
Sarge had gcc 3.3.5, Etch has 4.0.3. Sarge had XFree86, Etch has Xorg 6.9. Sarge had kde 3.3.2, Etch has 3.5.2. Sarge had gnome 2.8.1, Etch has 2.14.1. Sarge had kernel 2.4.27, Etch has 2.6.15. Sarge had firefox 1.0.4 and openoffice 1.1.3 while Etch has FF 1.5.0.3 and OO 2.0.1. And so on...
Yeah, one could really say that Debian has more or less caught up with the lead that other distros once had. It's good to be a Debian user nowadays.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:-)
