I'm not sure if we're ready to be "official" yet. I don't know about
anyone else out there, but with the state that I Have the keyboard code
in right now (still playing....) I can't say that plex86 is ready to be
distro-ed at all. Please, if you want to play with plex86 & send bug
reports use the CVS if at all possible. Colin does a good job keeping
the tarballs up to date, but you shouldn't make him do all of the dirty
work!!!
