Dear LWN: (This'll probably be the zillionth note you get on the subject, since I took time to send in my order before writing to you. :)
Libranet is announcing that they will ship version 2.0 of their Debian-based distribution the week of 4 February 2002. I manually clipped the summary of contents from their Web page, which is at http://www.libranet.com/products.features.html and atttached it below. (The discussion already under way on Slashdot seemed puzzled about what was in the new distribution; evidently no one thought to look at the Web page?) Actually, I ordered before I saw the distribution's contents myself - experience with their earlier versions was sufficient. Bill Sconce President In Spec, Inc.
