You know something that stands out as clearly incorrect about this article is "Progeny may have provided the catalyst needed to create a distribution of unprecedented quality; it is now up to open source software developers to follow through."
Give credit where credit is due. Red Hat created the catalyst by releasing anaconda and creating Fedora.
Progeny/Debian are just recognizing that anaconda is an excellent installer and that they have sorely needed this with there distribution for some time.

Ian Murdock, the founder of the Debian GNU/Linux project ... made two very important announcements: the porting of Red Hat's Anaconda installer tool to Debian, and a modification of Debian's APT package tool which will allow it to use both RedHat and Debian packages.
