On the Libranet front, I hope to be able to post something more official soon, but basically the operation is shutting down. I don't know if this will be permanent or not, but it's the situation for now. I'm not a business man, and I can't run the company on my own so it's really the only choice for the moment. There is a possibility of finding some outside involvement to give Libranet a good kick in the pants and get it going again, but I'm not going to be able to even investigate anything along this path until I get back to Canada next spring. Still, if anyone out there is seriously interested (or knows of someone who is interested) in getting involved in the GNU/Linux world in a big way, don't hesitate to let me know.

This is a sad story. Libranet is my main distribution, it's the cleanest Debian implementation. Nice installer, good graphical system administration tools, and a custom Libranet package repository. Users can stick with the Libranet packages, or use the Debian repositories. Overall it's pretty much stock Debian with some nice tools added on.

Jon Danzig, the creator of Libranet, passed away last year. Details here: http://libranet.com/newsletter20050623

If Ubuntu keeps progressing at its current pace, it may soon match Libranet. Libranet is one of the best debian based distro's available.

Very clean, very stable, very usable.

I hope that the adminmenu code eventually finds its way back to the community for the benefit of all. Then John's legacy will live forever.
