"Basically the operation is shutting down." With these words, Tal Danzig, the owner and technical lead for the Libranet distribution, quietly announced in his blog on November 25 the news that users had been dreading ever since his announcement two months ago that the distribution was "restructuring." Danzig did not rule out the possibility of reviving the distribution after his return in February 2006 from a three-month trip to Israel. Yet, for now, the announcement seems to mark the end of one of the oldest and best-loved Debian-based distributions. On Distrowatch, Libranet's status is now marked as "dormant." On June 1st, 2005, Jon Danzig, co-founder of Libranet and father of Tal Danzig passed away.

There seems to be a difference of opinions between the 2 developers, Tal and Daniel. Daniel believes that software should be free in both meanings of the word. Tal doesn't seem ready to agree. I am pretty sure Tal badly needs a vacation, he is only 22 and he must have gone through a terrible time: his father was getting worse all the time and eventually died, and in the meantime he had to look after Libranet.
