Development Release: Lunar Linux 1.6.4 Beta 1 |
| Stefan Wold has announced the availability of the source-based Lunar Linux 1.6.4 beta 1 installation ISO images: "Lunar Linux 1.6.4-beta1, code name 'Lacus Autumni', just became available. The 1.6.4 stable release is just around the corner and we hope it will please everyone. As mentioned in our previous announcement, X.Org and Xfce 4 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 pre-compiled kernels." Read the complete release announcement for a more detailed list of changes and features. Download: lunar-1.6.4-beta1-i686.iso.bz2 (296MB, MD5), lunar-1.6.4-beta1-x86_64.iso.bz2 (305MB, MD5). |

| About Lunar Linux |
| Lunar is a source based Linux distribution with a unique package management system which builds each software package, or module, for the machine it is being installed on. Though it can take a while to do a complete Lunar installation it's worth it as it tends to be quite fast, once installed! In the beginning Lunar was a fork of Sorcerer GNU Linux (SGL). The fork occurred in late January to early February of 2002 and was originally made up of a small group of people who wanted to collaboratively develop and extend the Sorcerer technology. The original name for the project was Lunar-Penguin but the group decided to re-christen it Lunar Linux while the Lunar-Penguin name has become a sort of umbrella which the team could use if they decide to collaboratively develop something besides Lunar Linux. |
