Libranet 3.0 has been a long time coming, and highly anticipated by its devoted customers. Due to the extended period of time since their last release in 2003, I was beginning to wonder if they were falling into the 'catch up' mode of development... the endless loop you can enter when you're low on development staff who are working hard to try to keep up with the rest of the distributions out there... only moving fast enough to be one step behind. Since there was such a large gap in time between the 2.8.1 release and the current 3.0 release, will Libranet stack up? Does it have what it takes to win the hearts of not only the Debian crowd, but the Open Source community in general? Well, my friends, we're here to find out.
