eh, too bad! just tracked over the progeny linux with a deb woody || potato source, messed it up. the i18n in progeny linux is completely bullsh*t comparing with the real plebian chinese.

packaging jmcce for the progeny linux. tried to port all sorts of redhat-CLE things onto it (pretty l10n hackish writings), receive a 50% success rate.

done some biology past papers on regents, around 97% success rate, kewl.

p.s. _do not download the 2nd disk for progeny, it's just as useless as the debian 2nd and 3rd CD_ burn it or get a toaster.

got progney at xcyber's mirror.

finally, installed progeny! So, how good is it?

pros: fast install, GUI interface to apt-get default installation makes debian easier for lamers like me sawfish by default fast! on a p-450/512MB ram thinclient...

cons: the apt-get GUI interface is still buggy (accurately should be 'tasksel' interface) the font bundled sucks no default i18n support does not suit my style of playing

postscriptum: it can serve as a backup system for some sid(Still-in-development) users, well... :)

the linux device driver database i've created is open now in the Linuxhall site, anyone who would like to make it better, please contact me as soon as possible (in evil at debian dot org dot hong kong)

eh, just created an account, with nothing around me, just a thank to xcyber for the site link. downloading progeny, that does not rock. for me i get around 23-24kbps. it sucks.

hoping that ian will gimme another good product, though. in debian, xpdf is locked, therefore, well.. edit xref.cc, change all ::okToCopy and other related function to return true. that's all for today.

sleep `echo 3600*12|bc`
