The DCC was a disaster. It's now practically dead and it killed CL with it. As Ian got busier, progeny went further down the drain.
It's rather like UserLinux as well. An awful lot of people who thought they could produce something for the enterprise out of Linux and pure open source software, but where the ideas never matched reality in any shape or form.

I used progeny's CL for years and it was a great product. It brought an easy installer and configuration tools and LSB to debian without losing authenticity. The DCC was a disaster. It's now practically dead and it killed CL with it. As Ian got busier, progeny went further down the drain. I ended up having to go to other distros (a few months of fedora, followed by over an year with arch). Its a sad story. He should have never started DCC.
