(contracted; show full)reading]]. It supports a number of filesystems, including the [[File Allocation Table|FAT]] family of filesystems, [[ext3]] (with journalling), [[Reiserfs]] and [[ISO9660]]. The userspace comprises a native shell, Burn, and text editor, Fruity, and a range of ported applications. A C-based and [[BSD license|BSD-licensed]] [[software development kit]] is available, with bindings for various languages. Whitix contains a [[POSIX]] compatibility library (libposix), but does not aim for full POSIX compliance.


==Software==
The custom userspace software for Whitix consists a range of third party applications, Burn (a non-POSIX shell), Fruity (a simple text editor) and several filesystem utilities. Software ported to Whitix includes [[Python (language)|Python]], the [[Mono]] runtime environment and C# compiler, [[GCC]], [[LD]] and the rest of the GCC build-chain, [[Lua (language)]], [[mplayer]] and other ports. For 0.3, a port of GTK and several Linux applications is planned.⏎

==Releases==
The development team issue releases "when it's ready". However, no versions of Whitix have been declared stable for general use. The latest release is 0.2, which was released on 6 January 2009. The timing of each release depends on the stability of features planned to be included, although a monthly release pattern of minor versions and improvements is an aim for the developers at Whitix.org.
