Refracta-6.0.6 is available in "final" form (and has been ready for a couple months.) This one is much like 6.0.5: lots of command-line utilities for diagnosis and rescue and xfce4 desktop, but with a little more gnome included. Xfburn was replaced with brasero, ristretto was replaced with gthumb, squeeze (the archiver) was replaced with xarchiver. There is now multi-language support which can be activated at boot or at the desktop login screen. (check the new boot help screens for details.) Refracta Snapshot and Refracta Installer have been updated (several times.) Any additional updates to the custom scripts can be obtained easliy, as git is installed and the refracta github repo is cloned and included in the image.
Also new is a 64-bit version that uses a newer kernel from squeeze-backports, 3.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64, and has only free software installed (main repo). There are deb files for some non-free wireless drivers in the user's home, in case someone needs to install one to get a connection.
Iso images can be downloaded here -

http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/refr ... s/current/There are also usb-hdd images (with grub bootloader), but they're only on a private server right now. I need to find a better place to store two 1gb files. I'll let nadir post the link if he wants.
