First window Manager DWM
We have had the ability to build a CLI based ISO for a while now. However install has been rather tricky. This is because Syenrgy Linux does not offer any selinux packages. We have completely stripped out SELinux from our core packages. Up until a few weeks ago this meant a broken anaconda and a [...]

Next release: FireFox 5 and Thunderbird
