Hello everybody,

As you may already know, Synnefo was initially developed for and deployed on Debian (in the same way Ganeti is).

So, today, we are happy to announce that starting Synnefo v0.15.1, alongside Debian packages, we will also be officially providing RPM packages for the whole Synnefo stack. Read more...

Hello Synnefo users,

You may have noticed that lately, we have been trying to separate the Synnefo software from the IaaS service it powers, ~okeanos.
