----------------------------
HISTORY OF THIS DISTRIBUTION
----------------------------

0.00.001   1997-01-11
Antonio GALLO started the project from a machine running Windows 95. 
The first kernel used is created using a Red-Hat 4.0 from an Ext2 FS.
I started this project because RH4.0 does not support my cdrom, due
to a bug, connected to a sound blaster 16. So i have to install Slackware
and the add package from RH with rpm.
So i decided that i need a small 4 floppy zipped UMSDOS distribution
to be used quickly.

0.01.000   1997-04-11
After thousands of reboots the first system finally start to works.
This document was created in that date with "vi"

0.01.001   1997-11-27
I waste a lot of time in other things ... i have inserted a lot of 
unusefull files and libs, so i decide to start the work back from
scratch.

0.200	   1997-12-08
I have a small system working properly, with some nice script.

0.250	   1998-01-08
Uao ! Using the 0.200 i was able to install XFree (in TGZ format) 
and KDE-beta-2 (in RPM format)

0.300	   1998-02-16
Added user profile, script works fine, i've to add more scripts.
			
0.370      1998-03-05
Terminal look clever (i.e. a nice font, prompt and color scheme), my 
FS begins to be FSHS 2 compliant

0.400      1998-08-31
A lot of months passed doing nothing more than compiling GNOME and 
Enlightenment and GTK and other stuff ....
I recognize that it's time to start to make a cd-rom 
distribution rather than a floppy distribution ... 
i began to write the setup script, they'are going fine ... 
i implemented a nice cd-rom autoscanning features. 
The version number doesn't changed 'cause i not released this to nobody. 
I want things really working first. 
Also i have a single bootdisk using "initrd" (the Ramdisk) and a 
compressed kernel image (bzImage), a very programming trial.

0.500      1998-09-02
Complete rewritten the configuration scripts, i pass a lot of time 
mergeing all the changes done with new scripts and new documentation. 
Quitely, i decided that it's now time to complete that work and to begin 
to release something.

0.502      1998-09-06
Setup script now mount source cd and create a UMSDOS file system. 
Also, User Profile is really working !!
Why Linux is so perfect ? Maybe, because he does what you want ! 

0.504	   1998-09-28
"Little Italy" is now the .zipped dos version of the distribution. 
"Bad Penguin" is now the CD-ROM native linux distribution, also 
called "Gallinux" by some friends of mine :-)

0.561	   1998-10-01
Script for configuring swap partition and other enhancement 
to the profile.

0.660      1998-10-10 at 12:27
Added support for Plug And Pray ... :-)
Added SHADOW PASSWORD support

0.700	   1998-10-11 & 12
"Sincerly: when i was root i deleted this file !"
"So changes here are missed" ... never log as root !
 Everybody thinks: "this will never happen to me" ...
 ... instead ... (^_^) ... it really happens !

0.850	   1998-11-11
URK! Finally i wrote the script to configure the network
but only the eth0 interface.
I wrote script to startup/close a network connection
'connect <connection_name>' and 'disconnect'.
These are configurable thru the controlpanel

0.940	   1998-12-09
'controlpanel' is almost done ... problems with dialog

0.980	   1999-01-10
Just near the exit of the tunnel ... added blackbox and
support for /etc/sysconfig PROGRAMS and WINDOW-MANAGERS feature.
This is release is also know as pre-beta 4

0.990	   1999-01-11
Fixed a lot of package installation problem, also adjusted things
into the documentation. Update web site: near to the release !

0.999	   1999-01-18
Project is almost completed and have been freezed.
Public Beta 1 will be relased when the last version of
AGX-UserProfile will be stable and definitive.

Beta 5	   1999-01-26
OK, At this point i decide to frozen the "Little Italy Project" to move
on actively on "Bad Penguin". "Little Italy" is the core parte of the
distribution installable exploding a .zip file in your windows directory,
while "BP" is a full-featured Linux distribution. From this point we are
realesing beta quality cd-rom of the distribution.

1999-02-03
Still working on, we have a fine web site now.

1999-02-13
Bad Penguin will be in italian language, from this
point you need to know italian.
 Sorry. :-)

Beta 6	   1999-03-15
Converting everything from kernel 2.0.36 to kernel 2.2.x
and from libc.5.4.44 to glibc-2.x.x
Meanwhile AGX-UserProfiles are on Linuxberg and Freshmeant
where they get 5 gold penguins.

Beta 7 	   1999-04-26
Converting everything was a very bloodly things.
"Little Italy" has been declared dead. you can use BP
now to install as UMSDOS.
