Progeny Releases Beta 1 of Progeny Debian 2.0

Posted by michael on from the like-debian-but-better-i-hope dept.

Jeff Licquia writes "We just released the first beta of Progeny Debian 2.0, Developer Edition. This is intended to be a showcase of our Componentized Linux project for building customized Linux distributions, something that's been talked about here before. We'd really like people to give this a whirl and report any problems they have. For more information, Progeny's Platform site has the details."

    To allow optimization for depth, a new kind of distribution is needed--a componentized distribution from which users may build platforms from the bottom up, including only the features and technologies their products require.

    But isnt this one of the key ideas behind Gentoo? Either way I think I'll have to check this out more. Good to see more of this over the "just bundle everything with an i386 build" approach.
