In a market crowded by ocelots (http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/13/ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot-now-available-to-download/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget), cows (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/15/fedora-18-spherical-cow-brings-linux-fans-a-taste-of-cinnamon/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) and mountain lions (http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/25/apple-os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-review/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget), it's nice to see an operating system that isn't named after an animal. The trend bucking OS? Debian's 7.0 update, Wheezy. Okay, it's technically the name of a penguin from Toy Story (http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/11/toy-story-3-blu-ray-listed-on-amazon-for-december-10-could-it-b/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget), but we'll give it a pass. The distro's latest revision hit over the weekend, offering users an improved installer, new media codecs, UEFI support and a handful of tools to help users create their own XCP and OpenStack (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/02/nebula-one-turns-servers-into-simple-private-clouds-with-openstack/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) cloud severs. Perhaps even more significant is multiarch support, which allows the OS to install packages for both 32 and 64-bit machines simultaneously, improving support for legacy applications. The update includes a ton of software updates as well. Thinking of upgrading? You'll find release notes and download information at the source link.
