Progeny Debian
 

Just wondering if anyone has used or uses this distrobution. If so, what do you think of it?

Its now defunct, they recomend upgrading to Debian Woody.

Used it for a while. It made a nice stab at being a newbie-friendly debian distro. Shame it is no longer actively updated, but if you're using it, you should have no problems converting over to 'normal' debian...woody and the like.

Why is that?

:)

Had a slight catastrophe...due to Mandys mishandling of my partition table (i.e. hda10 was, at one point, the first partition on the disk, and hda3 was the last...just a generally bad part-table), my computer started to forget that the last 30Gb of my 40Gb disk existed, so I low level formatted and started again. I am sorry to admit that I am really only a pretend Slacker...I am a devout Mandy user that had slack purely to play with...I'm in the middle of my Uni finals, so I haven't got the time. I will probably now wait until Slack 8.1 is firmly out (rather than rc1 status) and go head-long into it... until then, who knows? June 14th I shall have finished, and then I can set to work with some of my little projects...like getting this nice ol' 386sx25 working all hunky dory with Slack - it's gonna be a good summer, but unfortunately I will probably not be around here too much. :(

It is now a defunct distro. The makers of it stated that most all of its features have been incorporated into Debian Woody anyway.
