Hi!

Here's the latest weekly news edition!

=====================================================================

Hi everyone,

Short weekly this week. The website is picking up and plenty of people sem
to have found it already. You might want to check it out in case you 
haven't yet.

We had a nasty power outage in the main server building that includes
our little box that feeds you guys moonbases. Unfortunately! Just in case
you were wondering, you can always fetch the latest moonbases manually
from [se|de|dk|nl].lunar-linux.org in case you really need to. Check 
#lunar on freenode.net too, there's always people 'on duty' to help you
out with any problems. Power was restored after 7h and it looks okay now.

allright I'm being lazy today. Check the updates below ;^).

meanwhile in #lunar:

nhudson> man I have to go take a shower
sofar|work kisses man
TauNeutrino> it's a national holiday, everything is closed
sofar|work> what is mcs anyway? mono compile slut?
Striker`Work> no, hardly any of it is spam
