Dear all,

You better believe it, the day you all have been waiting for has finally arrived. The Lunar team proudly announce the final release of Lunar Linux 1.7.0 codename ‘Sinus Successus’.

Like the phoenix rising from the ashes Lunar Linux is back with a vengeance; a lot of overhauling have been done all over the core tools, packages, installer and the ISO-builder.

Go grab a copy of Lunar Linux while it is hot!

Lunar Linux 1.6.5 (i686 & x86_64) ISO’s released

Ratler — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 07:56:43 +0000

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!

Lunar 1.6.1 installer iso “Moose Drool” released for i686 and x86_64

sofar — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 04:34:15 +0000

Hi,

With great pleasure we release “Moose Drool”, also known as the Lunar-Linux 1.6.1 Installer ISO in to the public.

This ISO is partially a refreshed installer for i686, but it is also our first stable ISO for x86_64. The x86_64 installer ISO thus marks the true final entry for Lunar Linux as a multi-arch distro. This ISO comes with gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.6, linux-2.6.20, perl-5.8.8, and other rock solid base components.

Allthough the x86_64 ISO is purely 64-bit only now, we’re working behind the scenes to enable multilib, so stay focused for more news on that. This will also be the last iso with gcc-3.x. Future ISO’s will move to gcc-4.x and an updated glibc. Many more new things are to come!

Download it here:

i686: [257MB]

x86_64: [260MB]

Lunar ISO 1.5.1 i686+i386 released

sofar — Wed, 10 Aug 2005 22:34:22 +0000

Dear all!

after 3 weeks of heavy QC, a new lunar installation ISO, named
1.5.1 – “Gallium Arsenide” is released. This is the first release ever where
two different lunar ISO’s are released simultaneously. Once for i686 and one for older (up to i386) machines

i686 download (240mb)
i386 download (205mb)

The changelog is here: http://lunar-linux.org/lunar/ChangeLog.iso

This version fixes a few bugs with missing files in /etc/, and adds
support for displaying normal device names (/dev/sda, /dev/hda3 etc) in
the entire installer. Also, there are now proper default choices in the
language, font, charmap etc. menus to guide you. The network now starts
by default after installation.

The package list has been modified a bit and now includes wireless_tools,
lard as logging daemon, and xfs and reiserfs installs are now tested OK.
Plenty of minor adjustments were also made that are too countless to number.

Please make sure you verify the md5sums after downloading the iso. Here
are the URL’s of the ISO:
