 Our main server is currently undergoing mandatory maintenance. Please be patient and bear with us until our administrative squirrels (well, just one squirrel actually) have completed their nutty works.
This note is going to get updated once everything is resolved.
Thank you.
UPDATE: The squirrels are done and our main server is up and fully functional again. Thank you for bearing with us.  Comments (3) | Read more...

Hello dear community,
as of right now lunar is shipping the latest available glibc with its moonbase. It tooks some time, yet .. we managed to make it count. From now on, glibc comes bundled with a new language choser giving you the opportunity to chose from all currently supported languages including UTF-8 based locales (which has been missing from lunar ever since).
Along with it we're rolling out updates to several key core components like binutils, udev and hal .. some of them are being patched to work with the latest glibc. Others had to have the newer glibc ready in order to work correctly.
Also shipping is a brand-new kernel-headers-2.6 module including the latest headers from 2.6.23. It comes in both flavours, x86 and x86_64.
This update also marks the end of the linux-2.4 kernels in moonbase. The newer glibc does not work with the old 2.4.x based kernel series. So IF YOU'RE RUNNING LINUX 2.4.X PLEASE PUT GLIBC ON HOLD! In the end you're not going to get around migrating to 2.6.x .. but its going to buy you some time.
All updates have been tested back and forth .. yet, I'm pretty sure there are bugs going to pop up here and there. Please make use of our bugtracker if you think you encoutered one.
All in all this has been a great team effort and I'd like to thank each and every member of our team for putting his/her spare time into it.
Thank you and have fun with the new glibc!
Cheers,
For the Lunar Linux Development Team, Moritz 'Moe' HeiberComments (4) | Read more... |

Hi,
We're happy to announce the first beta release of a new series of lunar-linux
installer ISO's. Our new ISO's will be as easy to install as 1.6.1, but pack an extra punch: This series of ISO's preinstalls a basic Xfce4-4.4.1 desktop with XOrg-7.2, together with firefox, Thunderbird, pidgin, audacious, gimp and a few other basic desktop utilities.
We hope to make it easy for everyone to both enjoy playing and learning from a true source distro environment and both be productive quickly. The extra applications will give new users a fast start and should install easily on most (even brand new) hardware with the 2.6.22.1 kernel, but also give the user a welcome feeling on a freshly installed lunar-linux system.
At 585MB, this is a remarkable ISO that provides a great desktop installation to start with. I myself enjoyed testing this ISO on new systems, where even the wireless and 3D (open source radeon driver) worked without any other user interaction except for the command `startxfce4`. Hopefully you are as lucky on your hardware ;)
