Installer: The installer is designed from the ground up specifically for Debian. He is customizable and can be used by other Debian-based distributions. We have noticed a distinct lack of Live-installers for Debian, and are happy to take the lead on this issue. If you're a developer and you are interested in using it, look in the repository with the source code, and do not hesitate to contact us for help in setting up your fork and merge changes between our upcoming projects.
