Re: [Savannah-hackers] submission of Easy Debian - savannah.nongnu.org

[Loic Dachary]

        Hi,

        I'm sorry to say that Savannah is not fit to host GNU/Linux
distributions. It only hosts software and documentation projects.
You may want to try www.tuxfamily.org. Interface is in french though :-}

        Cheers,
