The Debian 1.3 _Release_Candidate_ is now available on most of our 74 FTP mirror sites in the "frozen" directory. We feel we've achieved the major goal of this release - _stability_. The release has been under extensive beta-testing for the past six weeks, and alpha-testing for several months before that. This system is now of release-able quality. Please feel free to upgrade your system or install new systems using the "frozen" distribution. If no serious problems appear in the next week-and-a-half, the existing package set will become Debian 1.3 on Monday, June 2.
To find a Debian mirror near you, read http://www.debian.org/ftplist.html , or download the file /debian/README.mirrors from ftp.debian.org . The release candidate is in the "frozen" directory, under the Debian archive on the mirror site. To check that your mirror site is up-to-date, read the file "timestamp.txt" in the Debian archive. The date and time in that file are those of the latest update to our master FTP archive that would have reached your mirror system.
