Lunar是一份基于源码的Linux发行，其独特的包管理系统能够根据即将进行安装的机器生成相应的软件包或模块。尽管进行一次完整的Lunar安装需要花费一些时间，但这样做是值得的，因为一旦你安装完毕，Lunar运行起来是非常快的！Lunar is a source based Linux distribution developed by a talented team of programmers from all over the world, working together to extend the Linux technology into better-tailored and more optimized software for the end user.
Lunar uses and builds upon the Linux kernel, the software started by Linus Torvalds and supported by thousands of programmers worldwide, and offers a unique package management system which builds each software package, or module, from scratch for the machine in which it is being installed.
This is what sets Lunar apart. It makes customization a breeze– you choose the compile options before a module is built, and install a lean and uncluttered system that has exactly what you need. Nothing more, or less.

Lunar-Linux and all it’s code are licensed under the GPLv2.
Lunar起先是Sorcerer GNU Linux (SGL)的一个分支，那发生在2002年的1月末到2月初，并由一群希望联合开发并扩展Sorcerer技术的人所倡导。该项目最初的名字叫做 Lunar-Penguin，但后来开发组决定更名为Lunar-Linux，而Lunar-Penguin则成为了一个通用名词，当开发组要开发 Lunar-Linux之外的产品时，他们就可以使用Lunar-Penguin的名称。
最新版本：1.7
很多人都以为 Lunar Linux 已经放弃开发维护了，但事实刚好相反，Lunar Linux 团队还在努力的为 Lunar 的核心奋斗。新版本的新特性：
