Debian-based SparkyLinux released version 6.5, including updated bundled applications and minor improvements.

Sparky is a lightweight, fully customizable OS built on Debian that offers a few versions for different users and tasks. One of the distribution’s distinguishing features is that it provides versions based on both the stable (SparkyLinux Stable) and test (SparkyLinux Semi-Rolling) branches of Debian.

Three months after the previous 6.4 release, the SparkyLinux team announced the general availability of the latest stable SparkyLinux 6.5, the fifth refresh in the 6.x “Po Tolo” series based on the Debian stable branch.
