Hi!
Here's the latest weekly news edition!
=====================================================================
Hello everyone!
It's been an XOrg week around #lunar really, most people have or are
switching to the new X server which to my surprise, already fixes 3 issues
the old xfree86 was having (dpms, modeswitching, etc). Nice to see that
the license issue actually means progress instead of deterioration.
Hopefully people will come to their senses! (Or rather not, since XOrg
right now looks *better* than xfree86 IMHO).
The new website is coming along okay, right now the FAQ is getting filled
and we're almost ready to switch over. You'll have to sign up again but
from the moment we release the site on you will only have one ID on
lunar-linux.org that allows you to access forums, bugs etc all at once:
http://lunar-linux.org/~sofar/drupal/
I'm gonna go back to work now, enjoy ;^)
