[nfbcs] Sonar or Vinux

[Jude DaShiell via nfbcs]

The latest version of sonar linux gave up on ubuntu as a base since 
accessibility improvements get to ubuntu too slowly.  Ubuntu has a 
traditional release schedule which means upgrades after a release happen 
followed by a frozen period in preparation for the next release then the 
next release comes out.  Sonar now uses archlinux as its base and 
archlinux has a rolling release schedule in place which means no frozen 
states and no official releases since as soon as improved software comes 
out, it gets released for everybody to use it.  That gets accessibility 
improvements out faster.  It's like slackware current or debian sid in 
that it's always on the bleeding edge.
