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 The fork occurred in late January to early February of 2002 and was originally made up of a small group of people who wanted to collaboratively develop and extend the Sorcerer technology.'

Yes it would be Lunix, and it would allow you to connect to the "INTARNET", where you can do all your l33t hax0ring.

Ah but the question is

[Salsaman]

Will Lunar Linux run on Sun hardware ?

Re:Ah but the question is

[jetlagQ]

innovative Linux distributions

[cpeterso]

I'm glad to see some new innovation in Linux distibutions. Lunar Linux is completely unlike those other Linux distributions. It includes innovative new software that other Linux distributions do have, such as Mozilla, GNOME, KDE, gcc, and the Linux kernel.
