That's too bad - I was hoping we could base a Debian distribution
on it.  Unfortunately, this isn't "free" enough to qualify for
inclusion into the Debian base system (hey, I don't make the
rules).

So I doubt my dream will happen - unless we stick with the beta 18 
release.  Yuck.  At least I haven't spent a lot of time
working on it...

I certainly hope beta 18 doesn't turn out to be the last "GNU-Win32".

:-(

Cheers,
