Earlier today, September 7th, Alan Baghumian proudly announced the immediate availability for download of the Parsix GNU/Linux 3.6 operating system. Dubbed "Vinnie," the new version brings lots of updated applications, new artwork, new features and many bugs fixed.

Parsix GNU/Linux 3.6 is synchronized with the Debian testing repos, as of July 1st, and it's powered by Linux kernel 2.6.32.20 (with the Kon Kolivas's BFS and TuxOnIce 3.1 hibernation/suspend patches). NetworkManager 0.8.1 is now the default networking stack, GRUB2 is the default boot loader and a brand-new update manager tool is now present in Parsix 3.6.

"Parsix GNU/Linux 3.6 (code name `Vinnie`) is a brand new release that brings tons of updated packages, faster live boot and quality new features. This version has been synchronized with Debian testing repositories as of July 1, 2010 and brings lot of updated packages compared to Parsix 3.5 aka Frankie."

"Now we have a snapshot of Debian Multimedia repository called Wonderland. Vinnie ISO images will not fit on CD and a DVD is required to burn them. These images are compiled using SquashFS 4.0 with LZMA compression." - said Alan Baghumian in the release notes.
