to Stormpkg, and the desktop is quirky at times. In other respects it seems

Hi,
I'm a relatively new user of Linux and have since yesterday, migrated

I chose Progeny because of my perception that Progeny would be easier to
install and get running than the non-commercial Debian.

HI all,
Have a problem with sound cards containing these chips.
Here's my PC setup:
DELL Optiplex GX1
Pentium III-500

15GB Hard Disk (Win98, 2 partitions)
4GB Hard Disk (Linux)
Sound Chip (Crystal-423x, as reported by Progeny Install), on motherboard
let me do what i want. i think i'm going to

those issues worked out. i really do think it's a good idea.

Same from me. For historical and reality reasons, progeny is as much
part of debian as debian itself. Lets not forget that the
accomplishments of Progeny become available to Debian. And we all serve

As far as I am concerned and as far as I know, progeny is as debian as
any other one.

I for one, do not consider announcements regarding Progeny to be spam. I

consider announcements such as this to be equivalent to announcements of
potato or woody being released.
