Stormix Technologies Shut Down

Posted by michael on from the banners-ads-at-half-mast dept.

avidwriter@excite.com writes: "Linux Today is reporting that the phone lines to Stormix have been disconnected, and the Web site isn't accepting orders. Looks like another Linux vendor is down for the count." So, I think we'll officially pronounce Stormix dead. Some of the FTP sites are still carrying Stormix ISO's, so if you're looking for an easy way to install Debian on a machine, better get them while you can.

    Before everybody starts repeating this (it's already 2 people)

    The story said that the site is not accepting orders not that the site is down. If you go to the site, go to the shopping area and try to order stuff, it says that the order section is down 'for maintenance'

    The rest of the site is up, and the story never implied otherwise.

  2. Try Progeny Debian by aat · · Score: 5

    If you're looking for another easy to install and use Debian based distro, try Progeny, mentioned here less than two weeks ago.
    You can download ISO's and also read the instructions for upgrading from Potato (Debian r2.2) here.
    Disclaimer: I haven't tried it yet (due to a lack of time).

    I predict that in the near future, all but three Linux distribution companies will be out of business, and they will rename their distros FreeLinux, OpenLinux, and NetLinux.
