For those who are knew, early in 2005, I installed myself as the = Zipspeak maintainer, then still having access to a windows 98 PC at = school. Zipspeak, a linux distribution you could unzip and run on a = machine with Windows 98, was a that time languishing, maintainerless. = My hope, at that time, was to keep Zipspeak a viable option for those = who need it. However, I lost access to that PC, which didn't work for = testing zipspeak anyway, and any and all others who could've tested for = me can no longer do so. It is no longer viable for me to release = Zipspeaks into the wild, or even to support them, seeing as I don't use = them. Zipspeak's functions have been superceded by other distributions, = such as GRML, Ubuntu, etc. Effective immediately, I no longer willl = support or maintain Zipspeak. Thank you for your understanding, Nick
