In chapter 2. The Debian Project on page 32:
The fourth paragraph of the subsection entitled "The early days" in "A history lesson" states that Debian rex was released in December "of the same year". This refers to the release of buzz in June 1996, not the release of the Debian botch in December 1995. rex was released in December 1996.
