Hi everybody, The StormOS Hail Beta ISO has now been released and is available for download immediately, grab it 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. I found it slow on my netbook, and although it runs great on my desktop I dislike IPS. APT is much nicer. Out of the box it includes: - 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 The first release is called "Hardy Hail" or just "Hail" for short. I welcome feedback on the forums or IRC channel (#stormos on irc.freenode.net). Regards, Andy
