Download Anaconda for Debian

hsoom writes "Debian Planet is reporting that unofficial sarge-based ISOs using the Anaconda installer can be downloaded from here. The features developed so far include '...changed the code that installs software to use APT instead of RPM, removed Red Hat-specific configuration hooks, and written a new tool called picax that builds Anaconda-based installation CDs from a Debian repository'. However there are features that are not yet working and it is not recommended for use in a production environment."

    It is official; UN Statistics now confirms: the USA is dying.

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered USA when president Bush confirmed that their markets have dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction their value when he began his term. Coming on the heels of a recent UN survey which plainly states that America has lost its way, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. America is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by being the most hated nation in the world.

    You don't need to be a foreigner to predict America's future. The hand writing is on the wall: America faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Americans because the USA is dying. Things are looking very bad for America. As many of us are already aware, as the American economy continues to collapse.

    Red ink flows like a river of blood. For all practical purposes, all Americans are dead, or at least should be.

      Yar! Anti-american sentiment is cool! No wait, that was LAST fortnight... Now wait for it... Famous words coming up...

      Get real... I'm a Brit and I can see that the Americans are all right. THe government is a pile of poo (how juvenile...) but the Americans are all right, and they'll pull through Bush without too much trouble. Wonder if the next candidate will be called William Clinton too..

      I think we should all gang up on the Chinese.

    If I wasn't constantly reinstalling it.

    It's harder this time of year when I'm so busy with last minute details, but come summer, I'm a reinstalling geek all over again.
