I assume once it becomes stable they will.
Since it's not stable yet, I see no reason why.
But most KVM providers offer the option to add a custom ISO for their clients, so it's just a ticket away anyway
Its in "beta" now, and imo not unstable.
Why wouldn't they release it then?
You haven't used it then.... I use it with gnome3 at work and sometimes when I log in the kernel locks up and I can't do anything.
Sometimes the screen just goes blank and it won't accept any input (kernel issue again).
Providers offer Mint, which is based on Debian Testing?
I've dist-upgraded, on all mine, and for KVM I dont see why you could provide some "unstable" stuff to "play" with.
Fair enough, but I dont use Desktop Env on VPS.
Yea I'm not sure if it's just a desktop issue or what.
Stable or not stable, if the customer wants it and it is unlikely to affect the node, I dont see why not.
Debian is notorious for delivering releases slowly and after a thorough testing. After all, testing is testing for years now...
Yeah, exactly my point @Maounique
I love debian for that, It makes it extremely stable:)
No provider will refuse to provide you the ISO if you ask, I simply don't believe it's the time to add it to the list of ISOs since it's still considered "unstable".
It's probably going stable sometime in Spring 2013.
It's not a big deal really, you can always dist-upgrade from squeeze to wheezy if they don't have the ISO.
Don't quote me on this, but I think you can use the squeeze netinstall to install wheezy (well, testing) if you do it in expert mode.
Point was kinda to not have to do dist-upgrade, but thanks
Yea I installed it this way on my desktop at work by adding the testing repo to squeeze. (Since this was the only way to do it at that time.)
After a bit of research, I found that you can, infact, install wheezy strait from the squeeze installer. So as long as the host provides a Debian ISO, you can install wheezy, even if the installer is "for" squeeze, without having to dist-upgrade.
People still use Wheezy? lol
