4.02 Progeny joins the ranks of distributions that now include XFree86 4.x. This means Progeny has support for most of the latest video cards allowing more users than ever before to use Linux's graphical environment. With the included configuration tools setting up X is very easy. It is hard not to talk about a Debian based without mentioning stability. Debian, and therefore Progeny, is more stable than other distributions due to the conservative nature of how software is moved into their official releases.
Much care is given to include packages that have proven themselves.
In many cases bug fixes are ported back to older versions rather than replacing a working version with a newer unproven version. In that spirit Progeny has included kernel 2.2.18 as the default kernel rather a 2.4 kernel. The 2.4 kernel is included but is not officially supported. There is no doubt that Progeny has its points for improvement. While Progeny is quite stable for the reasons mentioned earlier it is those same reasons that can lead some to look away from Progeny.
