In case you don't know, "Etch" is the code-name for the next release
of Debian.  Etch is currently in testing.  There are several major
changes scheduled to take place before Etch becomes stable.  One such
change is the transition from gcc-3.3 to gcc-4.0 as the system C
compiler, and g++-3.3 to g++-4.0 as the system C++ compiler.  Another
transition is from glibc 2.3.2 to 2.3.5, and a third is from XFree86
4.3 to X.org 6.8.  The GCC transition is in progress now, the other
two will take place later.  Other scheduled transitions include KDE
(3.3 to 3.5) and GNOME (2.8 to 2.12).  So, Etch is currently very
much in a state of flux :)

As always with Debian, Etch will be released "when it is ready".
