My question is, are any in the works? There are 49 Australians in Debian-devel [1] and probably a dozen New/Unofficial Maintainers (including Daniel Stone and myself).

(Hardware hacking if I ever saw it) also Bolwell, Robnell, Bullet are Australian owned and made cars. -- Woody PS: I would have taken this to slug chat if I was a subscriber. > > > > As an expat a long way from home, I find myself using (apart from > > > straight Debian) mainly Canadian distros (Libranet/Vector/Peanut). > > > To the best of my knowledge, no Australian distros are currently extant. > > > My question is, are any in the works? > > > > There are a few I think.

Re: [SLUG] OT - Australian distro?
Really off topic sadly the yanks are still proud of holden as then own GM and holden is a subsidiary of GM. ergo GMH. So really we don't have an Australian car, probably we can be proud they are assembled here. :) > > As an expat a long way from home, I find myself using (apart from > > straight Debian) mainly Canadian distros (Libranet/Vector/Peanut). > > To the best of my knowledge, no Australian distros are currently extant. > > My question is, are any in the works? > > There are a few I think.

[SLUG] OT - Australian distro?
As an expat a long way from home, I find myself using (apart from straight Debian) mainly Canadian distros (Libranet/Vector/Peanut). To the best of my knowledge, no Australian distros are currently extant.
