Lunar-Linux

Dear users,

The Lunar team proudly announce the release of Lunar Linux 1.6.5-rc1 codename 'Mare Ingenii'!

This project is still alive and we don't intend to change that!

While news and updates on our main site may have been next to nil we assure you that the wheels have been turning behind the scenes. The Lunar team have been busy keeping the modules up to date. The new ISO is also a proof that we are still in the game. Come on and help us test 1.6.5-rc1 and don't be afraid to give us suggestions on how to make Lunar even better!

- The Lunar team

New features in 1.6.5

• Based on kernel 2.6.34.1 and glibc 2.11.2
• Added support for EXT4 filesystem
• Added option to change preferred /etc/fstab style; UUID, LABEL or device name
• Openssh and screen is now part of the LiveCD to allow remote assistance during install

NO TRANSLATION ALTERNATIVE  

Dear users,

HEAR, HEAR! Lunar Linux 1.6.4-beta1 codename 'Lacus Autumni' just became available, so grab it while it's hot!

We encourage everyone to give the latest ISO a test spin, your feedback is invaluable to us. With your help we will make Lunar even better!

We know it has been a long wait for a new ISO to become available that fixes all the problems using the old ISO's, so wait no further! The 1.6.4 stable release is just around the corner and we hope it will please everyone. As mentioned in our previous announcement XOrg and Xfce4 had to be removed from the ISO, as it was just not worth the effort to maintain them. Instead we can put that effort into further improving our installer and ISO quality.

New features in 1.6.4

• Working software raid configuration
• Improved language selection
• Installation from a USB stick or other media
• Ships with kernel 2.6.27!
• ReiserFS, XFS and JFS are now also built-in with the precompiled kernels
