    Source Mage GNU/Linux description

    Sourcemage is a source-based GNU/Linux distribution based on a Sorcery metaphor of 'casting' and 'dispelling' programs.

    Source Mage GNU/Linux distribution is based on a sorcerous metaphor of "casting" and "dispelling" packages, which we refer to as "spells".

    This is a development ISO and potentially loaded with bugs and glitches. This is where you come in. We need your help to squash these bugs.

    Please download, burn, and install this ISO to a spare partition, extra computer, or over your least favorite friend's Windows partition. VMWare or bochs works too. Upon finding a glitch, please report it in bugzilla. No bug is too small, or too large.

    Help shape the future of Source Mage! Download the Next Generation Testing ISO and install!

    What's New in This Release:

    · This is an updated release based on the 0.9.6 version of the ISOs.
    · While it does not contain any changes in the actual installer scripts, it does have an updated set of packages/spells based on the 0.7 Stable Grimoire, including an updated version of the Linux kernel.
