PostX Gnu/Linux delayed to December, new filemanager coming

I have decided to delay PostX Gnu/Linux release to be at the end of December. It´s better to tune the features to their peak rather than do a too early release. The previous having said, there is a new filemanager coming soon. This will likely be the default on the upcoming distribution release. Here is a development screenshot.

Still in development quality code of Spin FM will be released during the next weekend.
