Re: [PLUG] newbie debian questions / philosophy

Probably.  I wondered which one of the debian children would be best.  I
heard storm was cool till they folded.  Caldera sounds too businessy for
me.  Corel? I didn't hear of progeny.  I wanted to get a 100% debian
potato compatable debian w/ a better installer. Storm scared me after I
installed debian, then added storm cd to apt-cdrom, then hosed my box.

Also, what does progeny offer besides slick install. Are there non-free
admn tools which edit standard debian config files?  debian does things
much differently than mandrake from what I see and it's annoying to switch
back and forth for admn, but for regular user, it seems like the same.
