<p>Tchan: removed the sorcery reference from the front page, mentioned the PPC, Alpha and AMD64 ports. There is no IA64 port in progress.</p> <hr /> <div>&lt;div style=&quot;float: right; padding-top: 0.1em; padding-right: 15px;&quot;&gt;<br /> {{ed|Main_Page:About|}}<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> ==[[Lunar Linux/History|'''About Lunar Linux''']]==<br /> '''Lunar Linux''' is a [[wikipedia:source code|source]] based [[wikipedia:Linux distribution|Linux distribution]]. It is built entirely by [[wikipedia:compiler|compiling]] [[wikipedia:source code|source code]], using custom [[wikipedia:Optimization (computer_science)|optimizations]]. <br /> <br /> It installs a complete [[wikipedia:Bootstrap#Computing|bootstrap]] development system first. After telling the Lunar package manager which software will be required, it builds the entire system by downloading current source code and locally compiling an optimized system tailored toward the users specific needs.<br /> This should result in a lean and optimized [[wikipedia:operating system|operating system]]. On the downside, compiling a whole distribution from scratch may be time-consuming and complicate the task of keeping the packages up to date.<br /> <br /> Currently, Lunar only supports the [[wikipedia:x86|x86]] architecture, but support for [[wikipedia:Sparc|Sparc]], [[wikipedia:AMD64|AMD64]], [[wikipedia:PPC|PPC]] and [[wikipedia:Alpha|Alpha]] is being worked on.<br /> <br /> Lunar Linux is licensed under the GPLv2.<br /> <br /> &lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right; font-variant: small-caps; padding-right: 15px;&quot;&gt;<br /> [[Lunar Linux/History|More Information]]<br /> &lt;/div&gt;</div>
