What is Momonga Linux?

Momonga Linux is a Linux distribution developed in a "Bazaar" model style among its user community.

Why momonga? you may wonder ...

A Momonga (aka Pteromys momonga) is a flying squirrel found both in Europe and Asia. It's an animal known for a self-asserting behaviour, despite its small size. We, at the Momonga Project, like the momonga, may be small and not well-known, but we do express ourselves without fear or favor, so hopefully a new user can feel our enthusiasm and belief from the Momonga Linux that will be released soon.

Goals of Momonga Linux

• A distribution developed by and for its own users
  • "Bazaar"-style Development
  • Secure Default Settings
  • Strong Support and Usage of Ruby
  • Easy Handling and Processing of Electronic Documents
  • Packages for Scientific and Technical Computations
• An easily configurable installer built for the broadband age
  • Support for a Large Number of Filesystems
  • Selection of the Newest Packages at the Time of Installation
• A unique package management system for easy updating and upgrading
• Compatibility with the next-generation standards

Moreover, we plan to use the distribution as a foundation for expirementing with new Linux-based Information Technologies, such as groupware. We hope to enjoy (though we realize that difficulties will crop up) developing Momonga Linux for the above goals. Please refer to the Momonga Project page if you would like to join us in our work.
