The event will take place at the House Theatre InItinere of Bergamo, in collaboration with the Consortium Hills Park in Bergamo , the Teatro Sociale di Bergamo and Fondazione Cariplo.
Organized by Michael Cremaschi .

This is the news that all expected: the more fundamental backports are now officially part of the Debian GNU / Linux !
This is a repository of packages. Deb available long URL http://www.backports.org and compiled to run on stable and oldstable version of Debian.
The peculiarity of this collection of packages - always up to date - is that they are specifically designed for "run" on the stable release of Debian, thus obviating one of the disadvantages - for those who consider this - of this distro blasonatissima: to make available packages are extremely stable, but considerably older.
Backports packages are basically taken from the testing version of Debian and recompiled versions for stable and oldstable.
This does not have to leave the legendary stability of Debian even when it is necessary to use packages that are newer than those provided by the distro, as the latest version of OpenOffice, Iceweasel, Evolution, etc..
The backports repository has been moved to the URL http://backports.debian.org and currently has 528 well-packages "backport" for Lenny.
One more reason to continue to prefer Debian GNU / Linux Ubuntu cousin, in my humble opinion.
