If what you think is true, you (and others) will have to find out from
someone else. ;-) I'm not interested in downgrading, if that's what the
case would be. I was hoping that Progeny may have a somewhat "parallel"
branch to Debian's sid. Actually, I'm sure they do or do they only use
"stable" packages and do whatever modifications they do from those ??

I'll check around their website some more...
