KVM providers should have this in their ISO list now.

    I assume once it becomes stable they will.

  • Since it's not stable yet, I see no reason why.

    But most KVM providers offer the option to add a custom ISO for their clients, so it's just a ticket away anyway ;)

    Its in "beta" now, and imo not unstable.

    Why wouldn't they release it then?

    You haven't used it then.... I use it with gnome3 at work and sometimes when I log in the kernel locks up and I can't do anything.

    Sometimes the screen just goes blank and it won't accept any input (kernel issue again).

  • @Damian said: Why wouldn't they release it then?

    Providers offer Mint, which is based on Debian Testing?
    I've dist-upgraded, on all mine, and for KVM I dont see why you could provide some "unstable" stuff to "play" with.

    Fair enough, but I dont use Desktop Env on VPS.

    Yea I'm not sure if it's just a desktop issue or what.

    Stable or not stable, if the customer wants it and it is unlikely to affect the node, I dont see why not.
    Debian is notorious for delivering releases slowly and after a thorough testing. After all, testing is testing for years now...

  • Yeah, exactly my point @Maounique

  • I love debian for that, It makes it extremely stable:)

  • No provider will refuse to provide you the ISO if you ask, I simply don't believe it's the time to add it to the list of ISOs since it's still considered "unstable".

    It's probably going stable sometime in Spring 2013.

  • It's not a big deal really, you can always dist-upgrade from squeeze to wheezy if they don't have the ISO.

  • Don't quote me on this, but I think you can use the squeeze netinstall to install wheezy (well, testing) if you do it in expert mode.

  • Point was kinda to not have to do dist-upgrade, but thanks :)

    Yea I installed it this way on my desktop at work by adding the testing repo to squeeze. (Since this was the only way to do it at that time.)

  • After a bit of research, I found that you can, infact, install wheezy strait from the squeeze installer. So as long as the host provides a Debian ISO, you can install wheezy, even if the installer is "for" squeeze, without having to dist-upgrade.

  • People still use Wheezy? lol
