Any Progeny user with a problem could simply pose their question like
normal but leave out any reference to Progeny. People will suggest
solutions, answers, etc and guess what ?? In 99% of the cases, it will
work !! ;-)

Progeny is Debian-based, as most people know. There should be no reason
someone can't ask a question regarding it or any other Debian-based
distro here. If someone has a problem with anything that's not *pure*
Debian, they *could* simply keep quiet. But...
