I am working on it, trying to finalize the details.  It should be ready 
soon, it's not that I'm a turtle in terms of not rushing to release a 
version, it's just that making and maintaining a distribution has become 
complex.  For example, it is no longer the same in terms of smoothness 
(compared to the past); to put an analogy, it is like maintaining a 
house, but with the frequency that if something breaks you have to fix 
it, after fixing it the next day something else breaks, you fix it and 
again something else breaks.  That's how complex the software world has 
become in the name of progress.

Anyway, and for the moment, I try not to give up.


Thanks,
Matías
