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."

      Although GNAA is my home organization, you fail it miserably. I'm going to have you klined from my ircd when I get back to my computer.

    This is all fine, but when will we see a Linux that is able to run in my computer?

    My machine has a ridiculous disability. Its PCI bus is out way of reach. Linux just can't handle it. That bus far away from Linux's addressing range.

    Why is that so? Why can't Linux address my PCI bus, when other operating systems (grrr) have no problem with it?

    The details are described on this page, section 4.13.1. They describe a solution, but that solution does not work on all the affected computers! Not on mine, for example. I've asked!

    It's unfair! Look, I'm the total n00b here. I've never even seen a Linux screen. I should be asking you Linux people where you keep your "any" key, or something! But instead I'm exploring busses and drivers and addressing ranges.

    And finding, to my utter horror, that it just won't work, no matter what! Linux just can't handle this problem!

    Oh, the horror! Doomed to a life in Micro$oft Pri$on!

    Give a man a fish and he eats for one day. Teach him how to fish, and though he'll eat for a lifetime, he'll call you a miser for not giving him your fish.
