+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 14 - Changes expected in the next major release of Debian
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-security"></a>14.1 Increased security</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian contains support for shadow passwords since release 1.3. In addition,
+the Linux library of Pluggable Authentication Modules (a.k.a. <code><a
+href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/">libpam</a></code>;) that
+allows sysadmins to choose authorization modes on an application-specific basis
+is available, and initially set to authenticate via shadow password.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Including full support for advanced authentication methods such as Kerberos, as
+well as additional security enhancements for mandatory access control
+mechanisms such as SElinux, RSBAC and buffer overflow protection like
+Exec-shield or PaX is still in progress.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-i18n"></a>14.2 Extended support for non-English users</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian already has very good support for non-English users, see <a
+href="ch-software.en.html#s-nonenglish">How does Debian support non-English
+languages?, Section 4.8</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+We hope to find people who will provide support for even more languages, and
+translate. Some programs already support internationalization, so we need
+message catalogs translators. Many programs still remain to be properly
+internationalized.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The GNU Translation Project <code><a
+href="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ABOUT-NLS">ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ABOUT-NLS</a></code>
+works on internationalizing the GNU programs.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-morearches"></a>14.3 More architectures</h2>
+
+<p>
+Complete Debian system on other architectures such as AMD64 or SuperH is
+expected soon. Notice that, for AMD64 there is a development archive at
+<code><a href="http://amd64.debian.net/">http://amd64.debian.net/</a></code>
+that provides intallation images as well as binary packages for most of the
+distribution. This architecture will probably be added for <samp>etch</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-morekernels"></a>14.4 More kernels</h2>
+
+<p>
+In addition to Debian GNU/Hurd, Debian is being ported also to BSD kernels,
+namely to <code><a href="http://www.debian.org/ports/netbsd">NetBSD</a></code>.
