That's too bad - I was hoping we could base a Debian distribution
on it. Unfortunately, this isn't "free" enough to qualify for
inclusion into the Debian base system (hey, I don't make the
rules).
So I doubt my dream will happen - unless we stick with the beta 18
release. Yuck. At least I haven't spent a lot of time
working on it...
I certainly hope beta 18 doesn't turn out to be the last "GNU-Win32".
:-(
Cheers,
