moonOS 4?



New packages installer

New LiveCD installer

New Interface

Khmer language supported

Very easy for offline user
New File Hierarchy System? Really?



Exactly! moonOS will be hiding old Unix File
Hierarchy System from end-user and use its own
instead.
So no more /bin, /boot, /dev, /etc, /home, /lib to
bother you.
It should be replace with /Programs, /System,
/User, /Volumes instead.
Why? What about old people?


Because all those files are not easy to manage,
understand and so complicated. It is not friendly.
Still have an option for old people who deeper
using Linux. All old Unix FHS is available in
/System/.Legacy like this:

/System/.Legacy/bin

/System/.Legacy/boot
New packages and LiveCD installer



Yeah, moonOS also come with new installer for
both packages and LiveCD.
New packages installer will be helping people
easy to install software without Internet. The best
choice for Offline country like Cambodia.
New LiveCD installer will be helping people easy
to choose their own applications and desktop
environment selection during installation.
