I still have a fully working progeny as vmware image (but with its own ip as one of my "small" servers) which I installed so long ago I can't even remember. Now I started it up just to remember the feeling and I have to say I'm sad to see it disappear. It had a very friendly feeling, easy to install, easy to maintain, never caused me any problems whatsoever - I haven't used it recently, but there were times when I used it on a daily basis for months in a row.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.
