  == PLD Titanium features ==
  
- Conjuction of new software with stability. There will be no freezing, no releases, no versioning. Whenever you will install PLD Titanium you will get up to date and stable system (unless you are using ready or test package trees).

+ == Distribution status ==
+ 
+ System is fully usable but number of packages is limited to those needed by developers. There are currently over 5400 rpm files for each binary architecture and over 1000 of noarch packages. If someone need more packages to be included in distribution he has to poke some developer who can build packages for Titanium to process his request. Help in preparing and building packages is welcome :) To see who is able to build packages check [http://cvs.pld-linux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/PLD-doc/PLD-who_is_who PLD who is who].
+ 
+ Installation is possible using [http://cri.pld-linux.org/ CRI] or manually using [ftp://ftp1.pld-linux.org/people/hawk/cri/chroots/ CRI chroots].
+ 
+ == Distribution future ==
+ 
+ Packages needed and used by developers will be maintained however some rarely used stuff requested by users will not get any attention. We (PLD Titanium developers) simply don't have enough time resources to maintain thousands of packages. Keep that in mind when choosing Titanium.
+ 
+ We will do our best to:
+ 
+  * maintain core packages (security fixes, updates)
+  * don't allow broken dependencies to emerge in package tree
+  * build new packages if necessary or if requested by other users
+  * fix bugs (be sure to report them on PLD Bugzilla using link below, bugs reported by mail or jabber may be ignored)
