Nope no minor versions ... and from the looks of the changelog updates he's
moving away from the BSD style layout he's used since the beginning and
going more mainstream sysv ala redhat, debian et al. Someone who's working
with Pat has developed a PXE installer and USB installers now though :) I
think he's tired of being seen as a niche distro.
