It appears that the month of May was pretty quiet for the SparkyLinux project as well, as people are already starting preparing for the summer vacation, not to mention that was Memorial Day today in the US. However, the SparkyLinux team is still working hard to polish the final release of SparkyLinux 4.6. SparkyLinux 4.6 will be the next major stable update of the operating system, and the first release to be based on the soon-to-be-released Debian GNU/Linux 9 “Stretch” operating system, which was scheduled for launch on June 17, 2017, and the last RC (Release Candidate) images were already prepared for testing.
