Named for the green three-eyed aliens. The release was frozen on August 6, 2010, with many of the Debian developers gathered at the 10th DebConf at New York City. While two architectures (alpha and hppa) were dropped, two architectures of the new FreeBSD port (kfreebsd-i386 and kfreebsd-amd64) were made available as technology preview, including the kernel and userland tools as well as common server software (though not advanced desktop features yet). This was the first time a Linux distribution has been extended to also allow use of a non-Linux kernel. The new release introduced a dependency based boot sequence, which allowed for parallel init script processing, speeding system startup.
