Lunar Linux 1.6.5, codenamed "Mare Ingenii," has been released, the latest version of the source-based Linux distro. The new release brings a new Linux kernel and support for the EXT4 filesystem as well as hybrid ISO.
"The Lunar team proudly announce the final release of Lunar Linux 1.6.5 codename 'Mare Ingenii'! The last known issues with the ISO have been resolved. We added support for hybrid ISO in the last minute, which mean it's a lot more easy to install lunar from an usb-stick from now on," Stefan Wold said in the official announcement.

"The developers are currently brainstorming and voting on ideas to further improve the state of Lunar,an announcement about this will be made later. We also plan to let our users, yes you, to chip in with ideas that will be up for voting within our community, but more on that later," he added.
Highlights of Lunar Linux 1.6.5:
· Linux kernel 2.6.35.3;
· Glibc 2.11.2;
· support for the EXT4 filesystem;
· Isolinux updated;
· all modules updated;
· Grub2 available as an optional manual install;
· new packages: Yasm, gperf, libusb-compat, usbutils, XZ, GMP, MPFR, cron-common, logrotate, Rsyslog, Screen, Slang and MC.
Lunar Linux 1.6.5 comes with a very fresh kernel and the latest GNU C library. One update that was probably long overdue is support for the EXT4 filesystem which has been becoming rather popular lately.
The developers say that custom kernel compilation during install should be working again. Also, pre-compiled kernel versions now generate the appropriate logs.
Another change that should be greatly appreciated by some is the addition of wireless network card drivers to the liveCD so users can get wireless networking working straight away.
