    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.


    Security Updates
    - ----------------

    The Debian Security Team provides security updates for the current
    distribution via <http://security.debian.org/>. Security updates for the
    old distribution are also provided for one year after the new
    distribution has been released or until the current distribution is
    superseded, whatever happens first.
