“…Though Progeny provides KDE2, GNOME 1.2 is its default
desktop. Progeny has provided some “configlets” (check out the
screenshots) that integrate with the GNOME Control Center. While
they don’t do everything something like Linuxconf does, for
instance, they do provide a way to configure printers, networking,
time settings, X configuration, and basic e-mail transport
settings. It’s nice to be able to deal with these things from the
same place the desktop environment itself is maintained.”
“Existing Debian Potato users can make the hop to Progeny with
real ease, too, using apt-get. The instructions on Progeny’s
download page spell it all out.”
“Progeny is also shaping up to present itself as a
GNOME-friendly distribution for tracking newer releases of the
project, thanks to the efforts of Eric Gillespie, Jr. a developer
for the company who has created an apt-gettable archive of the
GNOME 1.4RC1 (at the moment) release, including Mozilla 0.8 and
Nautilus.”
