PostX Gnu/Linux news

PostX Gnu/Linux v. 0.4.4 will arrive within few weeks. It will be still based upon DebIan Jessie. The upgrade will include all the current PostX Gnu/Linux programs. There will also be some new entries. Vlc will return as Veritas Player. I wrote Vertitas Player to be a Gui for Vlc. Coding has been done with Python. So far, things look good and stable. The Kernel will also receive an upgrade. I have compiled a 4.9.30 version with a better Wi-Fi and driver support. Currently I am testing the stability of everything. The repositories will likely receive upgrades by the end of this week.

And here is a screenshot of Vertias Player.

Veritas Player is a Gtk3 Gui that will require (at least) vlc-nox package. The design will remain lightweight.
