LQ ISO - Debian out of Date


I got the community bulletin today, and after reading about the 4 million ISO downloads (congratulations by the way) I went over to have a look for myself.

A problem that I found was that some of the distributions were quite out of date. For example, in the site, the latest stable version of debian is listed as sarge, whereas I am under the impression that it is actually etch.

I'm not having a go here - it is a great service you provide, but why are the links/downloads so out of date?

If you see something out of date, feel free to use the "Suggest Additions" link which is very regularly monitored. Thanks.

I should also add - if anyone is interested in helping maintain LQ ISO, please contact me for details.
