Christian Perrier is wondering why the official announcement about the Gutsy release does not even contain the word “Debian”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s not new: Debian is virtually nonexistent in Ubuntu’s communication<\/a>. It seems that the last Ubuntu release to acknowledge its Debian origins was Dapper (June 2006)<\/a>, maybe because that was the “Long Term Support” release.<\/p>\n

The fact that there’s no “Ubuntu is based on Debian” paragraph on www.ubuntu.com was raised during Debconf, and it was supposed to get fixed, but it seems that it didn’t happen for some reason (there was such a paragraph before the website redesign).<\/p>\n

In other news, I’ve been trying to install Ubuntu Gutsy inside qemu, but it fails miserably while booting the installer.
