'Wheezy' released, Debian 7.0

The world of Operating Systems is filled with animals. Along with mountain lions, raring ringtails, pangolins, etc, from today there will be also some Wheezies out there. Well a Wheezy is really an animal but a toy penguin from Toy Story. For me it still counts.

7.0 is a stable version. It includes various features such as an improved installer, a complete set of multimedia codecs, multiarch support and several specific tools to deploy private clouds.

"Multiarch support, one of the main release goals for Wheezy, will allow Debian users to install packages from multiple architectures on the same machine. This means that you can now, for the first time, install both 32- and 64-bit software on the same machine and have all the relevant dependencies correctly resolved, automatically"
