Progeny Ports Red Hat's Anaconda To Debian

Posted by timothy on Saturday October 25, 2003 @01:18AM from the apt-get-wins dept.

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." uberkludge points out an article with more details at Ars Technica.

Ian Murdock is the "ian" in Debian. Deb is Debra, his wife.
