Fortune smiles upon thee: you have discovered SprezzOS, the choice of discerning power users everywhere!

At the SprezzOS Project, we're not pushing things around on the desktop and playing around with old forks of GNOME. We're redefining and rigorizing the core system applications of the modern Linux system.

SprezzOS is about the new code it features, not creating a holistic operating system to aim at the lowest common denominator of user.

SprezzOS is derived from Debian, and an active member of the Debian Derivatives Census. While SprezzOS is a product of Sprezzatech, which retains final control over its definition, contributions from the community are actively welcomed. All SprezzOS development is open, and has been from the beginning. SprezzOS at its heart is a rolling, rapidly-evolving operating system atop the Linux kernel; when the term "SprezzOS" is used by itself, it is this continuum (the "trunk") which is referenced. It is intended that users generally install this trunk, and rely on its frequent updates. From time to time, a snapshot will be taken of the distribution, defining a more static release. Do you think you might be among our target audience?
