Apart from Debian Lenny, there are some interesting features added in 
0.6.0, such as 2.6.26 kernel, ocf patch, /ro & /rw replacement with 
aufs, LED drivers for ALIX, etc. Although Debian Lenny is not released 
yet, we are hoping that it will be released very soon. Releasing 0.6.0 
ahead of Debian Lenny allows more people to test this version.
