After spending the last several months streamlining business and software developments, Black Lab Software/PC/OpenSystems LLC decided that it’s time to make the Black Lab Enterprise Linux OS free for download again, after the company announced last year that it goes commercial due to lack of funding. The same announcement also disappointed netOS users that their beloved operating system will be discontinued. That is not the case anymore, as today we’ve been informed that netOS is becoming Black Lab Enterprise Linux and that uses won’t have to wait 30 days to download the latest release for free. Both commercial and free editions are to be released on the same from now on.
