Hello, I was wondering if the ark linux project was still alive? The last release was 2 years ago and the last thing a can see about it is from 2009. I just heard about it while surfing wikipedia and distrowatch and saw a copy of the install program and the underlying ideas and thought it sounded fantastic! but could not find a download site and the home page will not respond to my browser or ping. I would truly hate to see a distro as original as this fade into the dust.
Sincerely,
Zane Swafford
The problem is that we don’t have a lot of developers (in parts because nobody knows the project exists – publicity seems to be reserved for projects with billionaire backing), but we don’t want to make a release that sucks – so we’re taking all the time we need.
While I can’t make any promises, I currently expect the next release will happen in early 2011.

Hi,
yes, the project is still very much alive.
The problem is that we don’t have a lot of developers (in parts because nobody knows the project exists – publicity seems to be reserved for projects with billionaire backing), but we don’t want to make a release that sucks – so we’re taking all the time we need.
