[Marketing] [SoaS] SoaS 4 - Mango Lassi is out.

[Raffael Reichelt]

Great! I just tried the 64bit version on my old MacBookAir and for the first
time with SOAS it tries to boot. Thr bootsplash pops upand it is offrering
thr bootmenu ... unfortunatly then nothing else happens. Is there a chance
to get it to work completly? I would love it!

Regards,
Raffael
