Lunar Linux 1.0 Released
Ivan writes "Lunar Linux 1.0 was released today. It's a source based distribution, with gcc 3.2 and the latest versions of packages such as Mozilla 1.1, OpenOffice.org 1.0.1 and GNOME 2 and KDE 3. From the about page on their website: '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 The fork occurred in late January to early February of 2002 and was originally made up of a small group of people who wanted to collaboratively develop and extend the Sorcerer technology.'

If you want an OS god, look at Microsoft. All software for Windows is very standardized. Fine, blame developers for not using Windows Installer. But InstallShield is also from Microsoft. Redhat has garbage package managment also. Gentoo has the best package managemnt I've seen so far. And it's based on the BSD ports tree. All of the different versisions allow people to make products, and allow others to imporve upon theose products. That's waht open source software is all about. But let's dump all that and have an open source monoply. Right on.
