Progeny was a lot more than just a distro. In fact in its later years it didn't even provide a community distro anymore. It developed custom distros for specific markets and applications. In addition to that they worked on developing some really incredible bits of software that unfortunately never were allowed to come to full fruition.
I have friends who worked at Progeny and I feel for there loss. They *had* a great company, it's sad it lost its way like it did.
