Dear users,

The Lunar team proudly announce the final release of Lunar Linux 1.6.5 codename 'Mare Ingenii'!

The last known issues with the ISO have been resolved. We added support for hybrid ISO in the last minute, which mean it's a lot more easy to install lunar from an usb-stick from now on. The developers are currently brainstorming and voting on ideas to further improve the state of Lunar, an announcement about this will be made later. We also plan to let our users, yes you, to chip in with ideas that will be up for voting within our community, but more on that later. Enjoy the release of Lunar 1.6.5!

Dear users,

The Lunar team proudly announce the release of Lunar Linux 1.6.5-rc1 codename 'Mare Ingenii'!

This project is still alive and we don't intend to change that!

While news and updates on our main site may have been next to nil we assure you that the wheels have been turning behind the scenes. The Lunar team have been busy keeping the modules up to date. The new ISO is also a proof that we are still in the game. Come on and help us test 1.6.5-rc1 and don't be afraid to give us suggestions on how to make Lunar even better!

Dear users,

We are happy to announce that Lunar Linux 1.6.4 is coming closer to a release, 1.6.4-alpha3 codename 'Lacus Autumni' is available for testing.

It has been a long wait, but finally a new release is in the works that will correct all the issues installing Lunar using the old ISO's. We have also decided to remove XOrg and XFCE that was available on the 1.6.2-beta2 release to shrink the ISO size a bit.

Summary of changes:

  • Fixes for the RAID MD configuration.
  • Improved language menu selection.
  • Installation from a USB stick or another media (more information about this later).
  • Grub fixes.
  • Other minor bugs.

User Rating: / 76

Dear users,

HEAR, HEAR! Lunar Linux 1.6.4-beta1 codename 'Lacus Autumni' just became available, so grab it while it's hot!

We encourage everyone to give the latest ISO a test spin, your feedback is invaluable to us. With your help we will make Lunar even better!

We know it has been a long wait for a new ISO to become available that fixes all the problems using the old ISO's, so wait no further! The 1.6.4 stable release is just around the corner and we hope it will please everyone. As mentioned in our previous announcement XOrg and Xfce4 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 precompiled kernels

Website Translations

As some may have noticed, we've added some translation icons to the website. Right now, they don't do a lot since not much of the website is actually translated, but we will get to them as we can.

If you are able to do translations and you would like to contribute an article translation (or even menu items), we will certainly be interested in them. You can either send them via email directly to me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
