The SparkyLinux is a lightweight, fast and simple Linux distribution designed for old and new computers. It comes with a lot of desktops: Budgie, Enlightenment, JWM, KDE Plasma, LXDE, LXQt, MATE, Openbox, Xfce and CLI, that supports command line management like any other Linux. For desktop manager, distribution uses LightDM.
SparkyLinux is based on test version of Debian GNU / Linux. Η Testing (υπό δοκιμασία) έκδοση του Debian περιλαμβάνει όλα τα πακέτα (προγράμματα) που δεν θεωρούνται ακόμα αρκετά σταθερά και χρειάζονται ακόμα έλεγχο.
This version is not intended for use on servers or any computer that provides critical services. However, many are using it because the programs it contains are more recent.
As is understood from the above, SparkyLinux is a rolling (distribution) distribution that contains all the latest software and kernel packages. As a rolling distribution, it does not need to be reinstalled as it will update itself. So if you do not show some instability from the wrong actions, usually new users will not need another installation, and will always be updated to the latest version.
The Polish project developers have recently announced the new version of SparkyLinux 4.5 "Tyche" released in LXDE, LXQt, KDE, MATE and Xfce flavors.
Η νέα έκδοση έρχεται με το Linux kernel 4.8.7 σαν προεπιλεγμένο ενώ το 4.8.12-sparky είναι ήδη διαθέσιμο στο Sparky ‘unstable' repo. Προστέθηκε υποστήριξη για ‘exfat' file systems και έρχεται με ενημερωμένες εφαρμογές: Firefox 45.5.0 ESR και Firefox 50.0.2 είναι διαθέσιμος στα repos, Icedove 45.4 και το Thunderbird 45.5.1 είναι διαθέσιμο στα repos, μαζί με το LibreOffice 5.2.3-rc1.
