Progeny was trying to break into a crowded and small market (how much
shelf space does Linux take up at CompUSA). They had hoped they'd get a
second round of financing, and didn't (if for no other reason but this
is a tough commercial climate). And it takes years to get to
profitability, especially in the Linux market.
That's why I use Debian. ;-}
