Progeny Ports Red Hat's Anaconda To Debian
JoeBuck writes "According to
this message from Ian Murdock on the Debian developer's mailing list, the
Progeny folks
have ported Red Hat's Anaconda installer to Debian.
They have also written a tool that "facilitates the creation of Anaconda-based Debian installation CD sets". They are also engaged in other interesting unification work, and hope to be able to allow collections of managed RPM and .deb packages to coexist side-by-side."

Bill has you working this early on a Saturday morning?
Trolling is a art,
It's true. You couldn't get a first post to save your life.
My anaconda don't want none unles you got buns, hon.
Everyone knows having a shitty installer is what makes an OS leet!
Then when only super experts can install it just saying you use it shows instant leetness!
Sure, you don't know why OpenBSD is more secure or how to use ipfilter but by george you got it installed on your laptop! Well now, aren't you mr. leet. When average joes and janes can just slap a debian cd in their drive and be up and running with no troubles how will you get respect as a leet dood? You'll have to switch to gentoo!
Shit, gentoo is so leet it doesn't even have an installer!
If debian gets an installer that anyone can use to get up and running in less than half an hour that will definatly be a problem for debians leet factor.
... and you have a /. troll!
