It is built entirely by [[wikipedia:compiler|compiling]] [[wikipedia:source code|source code]], using custom [[wikipedia:Optimization (computer_science)|optimizations]]. It installs a complete [[wikipedia:Bootstrap#Computing|bootstrap]] development system first. After telling the Lunar package manager which software will be required, it builds the entire system by downloading current source code and locally compiling an optimized system tailored toward the users specific needs. This should result in a lean and optimized [[wikipedia:operating system|operating system]]. On the downside, compiling a whole distribution from scratch may be time-consuming and complicate the task of keeping the packages up to date. Currently, Lunar only supports the [[wikipedia:x86|x86]] architecture, but support for [[wikipedia:Sparc|Sparc]] and [[wikipedia:IA-64|IA-64]] is being worked on. Other source based Linux distributions include [[wikipedia:Gentoo Linux|Gentoo Linux]], [[wikipedia:Linux From Scratch|Linux From Scratch]] and [[wikipedia:Onebase Linux|Onebase Linux]]. <br> Lunar Linux itself [[wikipedia:Fork (software)|forked]] from [[wikipedia:Sorcerer GNU/Linux|Sorcerer GNU/Linux]]. </td> </tr></table> <!-- (Just keeping this for reference) == External Links == * [http://www.lunar-linux.org/ Lunar Linux] &bull; Official Website [[Category:Linux distributions]] -->
