SparkyLinux 4.5.2 is the second maintenance update in the SparkyLinux 4.5 “Tyche” stable series of the operating system, which is based on the Debian Testing repositories, thus shipping with bleeding-edge packages and GNU/Linux technologies, such as the recently released Linux 4.8.15 kernel. However, the main reason behind this ISO respin of SparkyLinux is to fix a nasty bug that makes it possible, again, to install and use the Debian-based distro inside a virtual machine created with the popular, cross-platform and open-source Oracle VirtualBox virtualization software.
