Hi,
This is the recent news [7/27/1999 - 8/2/1999] from Debian JP
Project. The prefix below such as debian-users and debian-devel
indicates debian-{users, devel}@debian.or.jp respectively.
* [debian-users:17000] PRE RELEASE 'Debimaru'
The pre-release of yet another mini distribution 'Debimaru'. The
aim of this project is to make Debian installation as easy as
possible for Japanese Debian newbies. This "subset" edition should
be 100% backward compatible with Debian GNU/Linux. The slink-based
version is going to be released in September, and the potato-based
one will follow on the heels of it, too.

* [debian-users:17085] post topics-ml documentation project (dejavu)
Noriaki Matoi starts new documentation project to help the Debian
newbies by summarying the traffic of
debian{-users,-devel}@debian.or.jp. Once upon a time there was a
FAQ called topics-ml maintained by Fumitoshi UKAI, but he gave up
updating it. Matoi-san and other daredevils discuss which system
(like hns, FreeBSD QandA, etc.) is appropriate for it.
