================================================================
  
  PLD Ra has reached EOL (End of Life). It will not be updated anymore. It is strongly recommended to upgrade to Ac as soon as possible! However the infrastructure for Ra is still online, so if anyone has enough knowledge and willingness to resurrect it, you are welcome.

- '''PLD 2.0 (Ac) short FAQ'''
+ '''PLD 2.0 (Ac) information'''
  
- Q: What kernels will be available in Ac?[[BR]]
- A: Newest possible 2.4 and 2.6. 2.4 series kernel will include same features as it has now, 2.6 is being reworked right now and it will probably provide very basic grsecurity, vserver and xen. This will be default one for the distribution. Few other versions may be available too (depends if someone will do them): full grsec, vanilla, desktop/notebook oriented etc.
+ Check [:AcInfo:PLD Ac] page for details about this version.
+ ----
+ '''PLD installer'''
  
+ PLD 2.0 Ac is the last one using old, text based installer. I'm not planning any updates of existing installer code. This project has reached EOL. Future versions of PLD will probably use Anaconda or no installer at all.
- Q: When Ac will be released?[[BR]]
- A: Check [wiki:AcInfo AcInfo] page
- 
- Q: Will package X version Y go to Ac?[[BR]]
- A: That depends on many many things. Does new version requires lot of rebuilding? Will it break other packages? Will it change package functionality? Will someone make/maintain required changes in CVS? And a lot more... Some important things like gcc, glibc, X11 etc. will not be changed. Less important packages may and even should be upgraded or Ac will be outdated one day after its release date.

  '''What I'm currently working on (in my free time)?'''
-  * installer (bootdisks) for PLD 2.0 (Ac) - these are quite usable now, so I'll abandon this project after releasing stable version of Ac
+  * New simple bootdisks allowing to install linux by using chroot and tarballs with pre-configured system. No wizards, no automation. See [http://hawk.jogger.pl/2006/03/10/prowizorka-v2/] for more details (page is in polish only, sorry).
   * PLD 2.0 (Ac)
-  * many other things not related with PLD
+  * Many other things not related with PLD :-)
- 
- '''What I'm planning to do if time will allow?'''
-  * new bootdisk(s) allowing to install very base PLD (but not new installer), w/o wizards and automation, see [http://hawk.jogger.pl/2006/03/10/prowizorka-v2/] for more details (page is in polish only, sorry).
  
  Any questions about above things? Feel free to mail me. Suggestions are welcome too. If you want to know more about me and you can read polish, you may try to visit [http://hawk.jogger.pl/], but don't expect some interesting content there. I think I'm rather boring person ;-)
