Hi!

Here's the latest weekly news edition!

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

yes there it is!

Some weeks are just more busy than others, especially when real life occupies
your time as well. Here's finally the weekly folks!

Good news good news. There's a testing 2.6 ISO out there. If you can find
it on our download site you may *try* it (hint: torrent). Please please
folks, _do_ tell us what we need to improve on it, but don't complain if
you break your box. It really is testing, testing 1.2.3....

Looking back at the moonbase changelog there's a few things to notice:
Postfix update, apache-2.0.50 is out, the new firefox of course... Florin
has been playing a lot lately and added a few (quite nice) GPL games, we
can never have enough of those of course. 

On the development side nestu is still working on the 2.6 ISO improving
things. We really need the feedback now however from everyone out there.
So... if you have a spare partition and would like to help out please
get the torr.... ISO and see how far you get. We really appreciate your
help!
