[PVE-User] Will Proxmox-ve adopt next Debian release : Squeeze

[Martin Maurer]

Hi all,

reviewing my own posting I found a major typo - here is the sentence which needs a correction:
___
I assume Redhat does still not know when the can release 6.0 - but this does NOT influence Proxmox VE.
___
Sorry for any confusion.

Best Regards,

Martin Maurer
