Welcome to This Week in Solus, Installation #13.
Wait, isn’t this supposed to be an unlucky number?
Daily Images
Let’s kick off TWIS with talk about Daily Images. As you might have known, we released Daily Image 0.201549.3.0last Wednesday, but what you might not have known is we also released 0.2015.49.5.0.
That’s right, two images this week.
Here are some of the highlights of the image, which is available for download from the Daily ISO page.
