Centrych OS
Centrych OS was an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution that provides a unified look & feel, as well as support for both KDE/Qt and GNOME/GTK+ applications. It uses the Xfce desktop environment with two distinct profiles - one that has the Oxygen/Qt look of KDE, while the other provides the Greybird/GTK+ look of Xubuntu. Some other interesting features of the distribution include the ability to do a simplified sign on and quasi two-factor authentication for systems with full-disk encryption, and the availability of the latest versions of certain high-profile applications, such as GIMP or LibreOffice.

The first preview release of Progeny Debian 3.0 Developer Edition is now available for testing: "I'm pleased to announce that Progeny Debian 3.0 Developer Edition, Preview Release 1, has been released. This release has mostly been a shakedown for the new Platform Development Kit, and so there are not very many changes. We are mostly up to date with Debian sarge as of April 18. As part of this migration, the repository layout has changed; all the components are now in one big 'main' apt component, and there are no comps.xml fragments. We are planning to continue support for components maintained with comp-get and comp2repo until we have a better solution, however, so external components should still work." See the release announcement and release notes for more details. Download: pd3de-pr1-1.iso (656MB) and pd3de-pr1-2.iso (268MB).

The second release candidate of Progeny Debian 2.0, Developer Edition, has been released: "We have just released Release Candidate 2 of Progeny Debian 2.0, Developer Edition. Some highlights: crashes in Anaconda that report problems with 'adbox' are now fixed; serial ATA is now supported.; the comp-get tool for managing components has been overhauled, and should work well, but because of the problems with the RC1 version of comp-get, people upgrading from RC1 are encouraged to use the upgrade instructions in the release notes; many updates from Debian sarge; the Eclipse and Tomcat components have been removed, as the versions available in Debian are old."
