SyllableOS 0.6.3
Submitted by srlinuxx on Saturday 31st of March 2007 08:54:35 PM Filed under
We’re not all about Linux here at FOSSwire - in fact I personally love trying out any alternative and wacky platform you can give me, so today we’re going to stray from our usual Linux territory a bit and take a look at another free and open source operating system, SyllableOS.
I thought I’d take a quick look at the 0.6 release, so I grabbed the 0.6.3 Live CD and booted it.

Submitted by srlinuxx on Saturday 31st of March 2007 08:53:09 PM Filed under
Most any geek who was a kid in the 80's played with BASIC at some point.

Morning Upgrade Breakage
Submitted by srlinuxx on Saturday 31st of March 2007 03:23:32 PM Filed under
For a pretty long time I've been mildly annoyed at the constant "New updates available" notification bubble that pops more or less every day (Ubuntu Edgy Eft).
