+Sx is a reliable, fully distributed cluster solution for your data storage
+needs. With Sx you can aggregate the disk space available on multiple servers
+and merge it into a single storage system. The cluster makes sure that your data
+is always replicated over multiple nodes (the exact number of copies is defined
+by the sysadmin) and synchronized.
+
+Additionally Sx has built-in support for deduplication, client-side encryption,
+on-the-fly compression and much more.
+
+To start immediately, read the quickguide!
+
+NOTE 1: Everything needed by sx and not in the system will be built statically.
+ If you prefer (like me) system libs get yajl and fcgi from SBo.
+ Also sqlite3 3.8.4.3 can be linked dinamically but you must compile it
+ by source (target the lib64 if x86_64 is your system arch).
+
+NOTE 2: To build only a client, uncomment the ONLY_CLIENT parameter in
+ skylable-sx.SlackBuild.
