In light of recent negative reviews of Debian in which the
installer was roundly criticized, this announcement may have
particular timeliness and relevance.

Progeny has made available an i386 Debian 3.0 (woody) installer
image based on PGI, the Progeny Graphical Installer.  This is
available at http://archive.progeny.com/progeny/pgi/.

Other recent developments at Progeny include the release of
Discover 2.0, a cross-platform extensible hardware identification
library and tool; Progeny Graphical Installer (PGI) 1.0, which
contrary to its name is properly an installer creation system;
and the announcement of Platform Services, a subscription service
that makes it easier for companies to develop and maintain
Linux-powered products and services.
