Libranet 2.8 Released

Posted by michael on from the debian-spawns-many-but-few-survive dept.

Jon Danzig writes "Hi, Libranet 2.8 has been released and I hope you will inform your readers. Libranet is our implementation of Debian to which we have added our installer, up-to-date software e.g. KDE, Gnome, kernel, etc., and generally packaged GNU/Linux into a super smart fast and stable system. The installer has sophisticated hardware detection and setup with flexable installation of software packages. We keep hearing that the Linux Desktop is on the horizon and while the horizon never gets any closer Libranet is steadily making its way in that direction."

    Quit improving so fast. Wipe machine, install new RedHat. Wipe machine, install new FreeBSD. Wipe machine, install new OpenBSD 3.3. Wipe machine, install new Libranet.

    Can we all just get along?

      You missed out Windows 2003

      Not installing Windows is missing out on something?

      It's not improving. The submitter said:
      1. Linux desktop is on the horizon
      2. Libranet is making its way towards the horizon
      3. Horizon doesn't get any closer

      Therefore Libranet isn't making any progress. Perhaps they're in the driver's seat making engine noises.
  2. Cool down by anandcp · · Score: 4, Funny

    Looks kinda cool, but can we cool down news of such Linux releases back-to-back. First it was Redhat 9, then Redhat 64-bit, SuSE 8.2, now Libranet.
    Look, where is Windows man? I mean Windows 2003, reviews, ads, interviews by Steve Ballmer about how his coders worked 46 hours a day, ads for Win 64 bit???
    Slashdot must be neutral.

    Come on... Libranet? Won't this be mistaken for some astrological based dating service?

    Why do they need a NEW distrobution for this? Can't they just add their improvements to Debian?

    Because if it were easy to install, it wouldn't be Debian.
