Looks like Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 has been released.  I think I've been running pieces of it for the past couple weeks.  The final version is just a dist-upgrade away!  Here's an interesting list of development time taken for past Debian releases:

buzz->rex 6 months
rex->bo 6 months
bo->hamm 13 months
hamm->slink 8 months
slink->potato 17 months
potato->woody 23 months
woody->sarge 35 months
sarge->etch 22 months
etch->lenny 22 months

(information found on a Slashdot comment)

I started using Debian around the 'woody' release, I think.
