-Debian community.</p>
+Debian community. In light of recent <a

+the <a href="http://www.nist.gov/">National Institute of Standards and
+Technology</a> is preparing for a <a

+augment and revise the current Secure Hash Standard. Rick Lehrbaum <a

+that the installation of Debian etch on an old ThinkPad notebook went pretty
+well and added a number of screenshots.</p>

+<p><strong>First Test Report on Multiarch DVD.</strong> Giuseppe Sacco <a
+href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2007/01/msg00062.html">reported</a> his
+impressions about the use of multiarch DVD. He wondered what should be done in
+order to start the amd64 kernel instead of i386, Steve McIntyre <a
+href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2007/01/msg00067.html">explained</a>
+that i386 is default and prepending <q>amd64-</q> would do the trick. Giuseppe
+also commented about a few documentation mistakes, Frans Pop <a
+href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2007/01/msg00063.html">confirmed</a>
+that they are already fixed.</p>

+<p><strong>Automatic Installation and Removal Tests.</strong> Lucas
+Nussbaum <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2007/01/msg00038.html">\
+sent</a> in the results of <a href="http://packages.debian.org/piuparts">\
+piuparts</a> tests against the whole Debian archive. The first run only
+tested the package installation process and the second run checked
+installation and removal of packages. Lucas proposed to find common sense
+before filling bugs with respect to the <a
+href="http://people.debian.org/~lucas/logs/2007/01/16/">logfiles</a>.
+For easier processing Stefano Sacchiroli <a

+for the new archive signing key for 2007 which should be properly announced.
+Anthony Towns <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/01/msg00568.html">\
+responded</a> that a special Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 signing <a
+href="http://ftp-master.debian.org/archive-key-4.0.asc">key</a> is used
