For the record, my other source of confirmation was Ian's blog entry: | Getting along | Wednesday, July 13th, 2005 | | eWEEK: Details Emerge about Debian Linux Plan. | | Posted by Ian Murdock at 5:53am in Progeny | 1 Comment ยป <http://ianmurdock.com/?p=262> To me, this is almost as good as the Xandros confirmation. In this context, I get the impression that Ian thinks the information presented in the article is correct, including the name of the planned organization.
