Yes, the magazine titled it wrongly.

You should still update, the two year old version has many bugs that have been fixed since then. You don't need to download, you can order CDs with recent images, for example from Philip Charles, or also from a German reseller. Make sure you get at least J1: http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/ This one has J1, which is not too bad, IIRC, for 18 euro. http://www.hinner.de/linux/debian_hurd_1.html Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
