Lunar是一份基于源码的Linux发行，其独特的包管理系统能够根据即将进行安装的机器生成相应的软件包或模块。尽管进行一次完整的Lunar安装需要花费一些时间，但这样做是值得的，因为一旦你安装完毕，Lunar运行起来是非常快的！Lunar起先是Sorcerer GNU Linux (SGL)的一个分支，那发生在2002年的1月末到2月初，并由一群希望联合开发并扩展Sorcerer技术的人所倡导。该项目最初的名字叫做Lunar-Penguin，但后来开发组决定更名为Lunar-Linux，而Lunar-Penguin则成为了一个通用名词，当开发组要开发Lunar-Linux之外的产品时，他们就可以使用Lunar-Penguin的名称。

        Stefan Wold has announced the release of Lunar Linux 1.6.4, a source-based distribution designed for advanced Linux users: "The Lunar team proudly announce the final release of Lunar Linux 1.6.4, code,name 'Lacus Autumni'. It is our most polished release to date. New features: working software RAID configuration; improved language selection; installation from a USB stick or other media; ships with kernel 2.6.27.10; ReiserFS, XFS and JFS file systems are now also built-in with the precompiled kernels. Summary of changes since beta 1: isolinux updated; all modules refreshed; installer will now skip the 'swap file' step if a swap partition has been added; USB modems in the precompiled kernel have been disabled since they require firmware images that we don't supply; added lsb-release."
