Hi everybody,

The StormOS Hardy Hail Beta 2 is now available for download
here<http://stormos.org/node/59>.


StormOS is the first desktop distribution based on Nexenta Core Platform 2
which combines the power of the Solaris kernel with the ease of use of
Ubuntu. It aims to be a lightweight OS with everything the average user
would want out-of-the-box.

The project was started due to my dissatisfaction with OpenSolaris and IPS.

Features:

   - Polished Xfce 4 Desktop enviroment
   - Abiword word processor
   - Gnumeric spreadsheet
   - Gimp - GNU Image Manipulation Program
   - Rhythmbox Music Player with support for iPod + iTunes sharing and
   Last.fm
   - Risretto image viewer
   - Fast and customizable Firefox 3 web browser
   - Easy package management with Synaptic Package Manager and gdebi
   - Transmission bittorrent client
   - Evince PDF viewer
   - File-roller archive manager with Thunar integration

New in Beta 2:

   - Updated packages
   - Faster installer that installs in around 5 mins
   - Better VM support, now works in 32-bit VirtualBox and VMware
   - Live CD + Install CD are now part of a single ISO
   - Bug fixes all 'round

Know issues:

   - Live Session wont work in VMware but it will work fine once installed
   - Still have GNOME icon in GDM theme

I welcome feedback on the forums or IRC channel (#stormos on
irc.freenode.net).

Regards,
Andy (stormos.org)
