Wiki Page


There is now a fully installed functional wiki page at luninuxos.com/wiki as part of the effort to better help users with LuninuX OS. There has been less and less support since the project started but this is simply due to the “one man” operation. There is other task one has to take care of in order to accomplish his/her dreams. I understand sometimes things don’t always work like we expect it to work but I am will to contribute a little more time in this project in regards to the maintenance of information, I hope there will be more help as the project grows. Thanks to all the people who took their time and used their hardware to test this software.
