Sonar GNU Linux merges with Vinux

[Rob Whyte]

Hey there Milton,

nice to see you about.

Yes I guess it will be Vinux 7 indeed.

We are still in early stages of planning.

We have secured servers etc to develop and build packages on and are
planning our build process.


Basically trying to get our ducks in a row as one would say.


Stay tuned to our support list.

cheers

Rob
