Shouldn't the latest stable release be updated to etch, 4.0r0 released 08-Apr-2007 in this entry?

In fact, the current latest sarge available is 3.1r5 released 07-Apr-2007 (in order to be called oldstable now).

I don't mean to upgrade the hosts, but at least, upgrade the docs (it should also be noted that the hosts are using etch/3.1).

I would like to read about the Debian upgrade policy/process used by DreamHost. When do they choose to upgrade? How is this performed/announced-in-advance? Also, some additional useful information, such as: What steps need to be done by the users to assure a smooth upgrade? What are common dangers and pitfalls? -- Jjalocha 17:08, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Debian versions on DreamHost?
Quoting from the [current page revision]:
 * Most Dreamhost servers are running version 4.0 ("etch") or 3.1r4 ("sarge").

I find this a bit hard to believe since neither sarge nor etch are supported by the Debian Project. The current stable release of Debian is 6.0.5, and the DreamHost machine I work with is running 6.0.4. The only supported version of Debian at this time is squeeze (the 6.x releases). So does DreamHost run only 6.x, or do they still run some older versions of Debian?

 * We just haven't updated this page in a while. Corrected. Andrew F (talk) 10:51, 10 September 2012 (PDT)


 * I figured as much. I understand - maintaining documentation is a monumental task, and a constant one at that.  Thanks for the update!
