Debian GNU/Linux 4.0, codenamed Etch, had been due to arrive by December 4, 2006, but it's been delayed because some developers have 'deliberately' slowed down their work. According to a blog note by Andreas Barth, Debian developer & release manager, the delay has resulted because "Some people who used to do good work reduced their involvement drastically. There was nothing I could do about, and that happened way before I started full-time on release, but on the global picture that still counts."

That's good advice dimosd.
I always use the Netinst CD and only yesterday tried out the optional GUI installer to see how it faired. I had to say I was quite impressed. Apart from the mouse point changing to a text input cursor but not back again I had no problems.
Although I was left a little puzzled as to why Gnome hadn't been apt-get'd during the installation. The first time I fired up Apitude there were a ton of more packages waiting for me to download and install!
I find the testing branch isn't too bandwidth intensive from an update point of view, however, unstable is another story entirely! :-)
