The latest version of Whitix, V0.1, has been released for download. "Whitix is a simple open-source operating system for your PC. It offers a range of applications, so you can do what you want without worrying about instability or poor performance. How often have you wondered why modern software is too complicated, too buggy or just too unclear? Whitix is a return to the ideal of simple software that works the way you want it to. Although the software itself is still in its early days, our vision is well established."

Xynth will eventually become a part of the core system (I should make that clearer), but since this is an alpha release, I'm wary of making slightly untested software the default environment for users. I've been coding at such a frantic pace recently that I haven't had too much time to improve the core website; however, I'll be able to improve the documentation and navigation. I do agree it's a little awkward.

Documentation on the website is scarce and maybe a bit disorganised, but it states that it has a text editor, the Tiny C Compiler, Python, nasm and probably Lua.
It looks very lightweight (in the positive sense) but I can't make out whether it is supposed to be console based or whether Xynth is intended to be an intergral part. The presence of Xynth illustrates some visual capability but I'm not sure about sound or networking.
It looks pretty good for a 0.3 release and I wish them well. A bit more information (and organisation) on the website might encourage more people to try it out and attract developers. As it is, by the time I'd finished looking for information I'd lost interest.
