Here are the featured projects for the week, which appear on the front page of SourceForge.net: Snappy Driver Installer
Snappy Driver Installer is an application for installing/updating drivers on PCs running Microsoft Windows, using driverpacks, or included folders with drivers. It can be used to install drivers on newly assembled PCs at places where Internet isn’t available. Users can also use the software to keep their drivers up to date.

SparkyLinux is a GNU/Linux distribution created on the “testing” branch of Debian. It features customized lightweight desktops (like E19, LXDE and Openbox), multimedia plugins, selected sets of apps, and its own custom tools to ease different tasks. Sparky is in between the distros that are beginner-friendly and those that require some amount of Linux knowledge. Beginner Linux users are advised to consult the project forums regarding any issues or doubts. Important note: SparkyLinux ISO images provide a snapshot of the package tree available at the time of their release (Sparky’s repository, as well as Debian’s Testing repo). While it is possible to upgrade a running ISO to the latest version via APT, you should be aware that running ISOs are placed in RAM, so large upgrades might fail unexpectedly. The common practice is to upgrade the required packages only (the installer for example, if there’s an issue with it), and the rest of the system after installing to disk.
