SparkyLinux 2.1 “Eris” Ultra Edition” has been released!

The system is built as all 2.x releases on Debian testing “Wheezy”.
All packages have been synchronized with Debian testing repositories of 23/01/2013.

– standard Openbox exit option changed for Shutdown/Reboot/Log out
– added update-manager
– Polish repos mirror server changed for the Debian main one
– added a few new wallpapers
– added to menu:
— run application
— graphical, two panels file manager Tux Commander (as root as well) to have quick access to system files
— added AppFinder – an app for quick access and launching applications
— changed standard panel configurator Tint2Conf for TintWizard
