Ah, but you're biased, obviously ;-)
Anyways, you'd be able to answer my forum question then, 
which I'll re-ask here if you don't mind:

>>2. safety
>>3. reliability
>>4. performance

>>Can anybody say something usefull about this? 

And in completion of that question:
I like the way I can very easily have the kernel re-compiled with 'lin -c
linux', but what if I wanted my new kernel to exist next to my old kernel, just
to make sure (try it with 'lilo -R nieuwe_kernel' first and all that), is that
possibel as well with the lunar tools or do I have to do that the old fashioned
way? Which is not really more work, it's just easier the lin-way IMHO :-)

But it's not too busy on the list, now, is it?
Probably because of the high quality of the product and the users <bwurk> ;-)

phoei, I thought it was me. Compiled fine with_curl just a few hours ago though
