When will E17 be released?
… does Rasterman have any timeframe in mind for the release of the final version of E17? His reply was to be expected - “No comment.” Smiley face included. The big blocker right now is a lack of time, Rasterman said.

Toshiba supports the Linux community with the TOSHIBA Digital Media Engineering Corporation’s Linux support portal.
