 ==== What does the acronym "PLD" stand for? ====
 PLD is a recursive acronym (which are quite popular in the Open Source world) for PLD Linux Distribution. Do note, that it used to be Polish(ed) Linux Distribution, but that has changed many years ago and is no longer valid.
-==== Why were there two different PLD projects? ====
-Up until May 2003 all crucial decisions concerning PLD were made by its (now former) leader, Tomasz Kłoczko. Many developers didn't agree with his way of handling things and, after finding repeated attempts to change the situation a failure, decided to stop using the parts of infrastructure controlled by Tomasz (including the most critical part - the CVS repository) and, by doing so, render him unable to force any decisions upon anyone. Tomasz was offered a position as a developer within the new structures (of course without the power he previously had) but decided, together with one other developer that refused to switch, to keep developing his own version of PLD under the original domain name (pld.org.pl). Apparently after a while he lost interest in it, with the domain finally expiring after a few years. Currently (since mid 2007) *.pld.org.pl mirrors the content of *.pld-linux.org.
