Being powered by Linux kernel 3.11 with LZ4 compression, SolusOS 2 Alpha 9 uses the Xfce 4.10 desktop environment, the Thunar 1.6.3 file manager, the Mozilla Firefox 24 Beta 9 web browser, the Mozilla Thunderbird 17.0.8 email client, as well as the GLib 2.37.3 and glibc 2.17 libraries. Among other goodies, the artwork has been completely changed in SolusOS 2 Alpha 9, in order to keep up with the SolusOS look and feel, and a brand-new installer has been introduced.
