Subject: New Distribution: Enoch 0.6

Hi there:

We have just released Enoch 0.6.  Enoch is poised to become the ultimate
performance Linux for the PC architecture, featuring 5 pgcc-optimized builds
for Intel Pentium, Pentium Pro/II/III and AMD K6 series processors, really
nice colorized initscripts, a full package autobuild system, and very
up-to-date packages.

With 0.6, we now have a fully-functional development environment, pre-built
kernels for booting IDE and SCSI-based systems, a nice new installer
script and many more packages.

We are looking for developers and power users who are interested in helping us
track down security-related problems (like wrong file permissions) and fix
autobuild quirks.  Approximately 90% of Enoch's packages recompile under Enoch
itself without a hitch -- once we get this number to 100%, we will release
Enoch 0.7, which will be the first Enoch that is able to fully recompile
itself.  We are very close to this goal.  After we do this, we will begin work
towards 0.9, which will feature X along with a full suite of X apps.

Best Regards,
