March 9th: The harddrive holding the torrent files and the RSS feeds has died on us around March 1st. A new one is on the way. Please standby while we put services back online (this will take a few days as we are waiting for the new hard-drive).
March 12th: Restoration is moving along. Most of the software and games have been updated while a few distributions are good to go. We are expecting the new hard-drive tomorrow and we will proceed to upgrading the distributions then.

The difference between Vanilla Kinoite and Aurora: Vanilla Kinoite is a very stock experience while Aurora includes many enhancements and tweaks, like included drivers for various printers, network adapters, game controllers and more as well as included codecs.
New Feature: Hybrid Torrents
Hybrid torrents support the BitTorrent V1 and V2 protocol. Its support is not well spread out yet so we recommend that you still use v1 (aka the "torrent" column).
