'''moonOS''' is a lightweight [[Linux distribution]], which uses the [[GNOME|Gnome]] [[window manager]] and is based on [[Ubuntu (operating system)|Ubuntu]]. Gnome can be used alone or in conjunction with a desktop environment such as Enlightenment or KDE. Its styled like [[Mac OS X]] (Dock, Preview ...) The Enlightenment project is still under active development.<ref>{{cite web | title=Enlightenment homepage | url=http://www.enlightenment.org/ | work= | publisher=The Enlightenment Project | date= | accessdate=2009-08-11}}</ref> The last version release was in January 2011.

== Packages ==
As well as using the Enlightenment window manager, moonOS includes a wide variety of [[Application software|application]]s and [[Daemon (computer software)|daemon]]s (a computer program that runs in the background), much of which is different than what is included in Ubuntu, however it retains the capability to run GNOME binaries. Applications included are:

* [[OpenOffice.org]], the default office program
* [[Mozilla Firefox]], the default web browser
* [[Banshee]], the default music player
* [[Transmission (BitTorrent client)|Transmission]], the default BitTorrent application
* [[GIMP]], the default graphics editor
* [[Totem (media player)|Totem Movie Player]], the default video player
* [[Brasero (software)|Brasero]], the default optical disc burning software
* [[Pidgin (software)|Pidgin]], the default instant messaging client

It is believed that moonOS is a fork of [[Linux Mint]]. moonOS has a similar user interface as Mint, and Moon's IRC client opens the Mint help channel when launched.

=MoonOs 4 "Neak"=
With the release of Neak, the moonOs team developed a new File Hierarchy exclusive to their distribution. The new file system is designed to be easy and clutter-free. Along with various changes including: Updated kernel(the 200 line patch), Synapse for easy application/File searching, the switch to GNOME (from Enlightenment), and the new AppShell framework. The AppShell framework is a newly created way of installing applications in Linux by using a [[Mac OSX|Mac]] way of doing so. What it does is use .appshell files that can be put on flash drives and can be easily installed on the system by dragging the file into the AppFiles folder.
