It is currently in ALPHA. The second ALPHA version should be released within
the next few days (after we resolve a few filesystem-related issues).

You're more than welcome to join in the effort. Debian has changed quite a bit
since I first announced its existence in August; it has turned into a fairly
large group effort, as opposed to the "traditional" development stategy of
Linux distributions (development by one individual or small group).
If you want to become a part of the pre-release development or become an ALPHA/
BETA tester, then join the Debian channel of the linux-activists mailing list.
If you don't know how to do that, then 'finger imurdock@sage.cc.purdue.edu' for
instructions.
