- I've fallen out of the loop as a result of changing jobs,
- but my understanding is that the Good Stuff CD will be shipping to
- people who have automatic software update service. It went to the
- distribution group back in November sometime. I don't know what
- DEC's plans are as far as future releases or updates, and I'd kind
- of hoped that one of the guys would post something about it when
- people starting giving them out at DECUS.
- Good Stuff consists of 2 disks: one of sources and one
- of precompiled binaries on a mountable filesystem. I think it was
- just the sources disk that was being distributed at DECUS.
- Perhaps one of the folks at DEC who is involved in the
- Good Stuff can clarify what's up with the project...?
