Progeny Linux does Debian one step better. If you like Ubuntu you'll love Progeny. A slick GNOME desktop, a solid Debian core, and the Anaconda installer have made Progeny my new desktop of choice. Progeny has also recently become part of the Linux Core Consortium (LCC) to implement Linux Standard Base (LSB) 2.0. Watch your back Ubuntu for Progeny's new 'Progeny Debian 2.0 Developer Edition RC1' release.

At OSDir we just had to install this distro, and take some screenshots. Our screenshot tour will take you from boot, through the installation, to the desktop. Then we'll have a look at the taskbar, menus, system configuration, and a few of the newly added features of this great distro.

I gave Progeny a try also after their recent release candidate...I was IMPRESSED! It installs exactly like Fedora Core 3 does AND it has the beauty of being LSB 2.0 compliant! I used the 2.6.X kernel and had my debian desktop with Gnome up and running in about 1 hour. As a MEPIS enthusiast, this distro had a lot to live up to...but it surpassed all of my expectations.
