I was involved with Libranet as an employee for Libra Computer Systems. Libranet was a Debian-based distribution that featured our own installer and administration (Adminmenu) tool. Unfortunately, the founder of Libranet (Jon Danzig) passed away. This was a blow to the company and everybody involved (including the warm and tight-knit Libranet community).

Nowadays, most functionality that Adminmenu provided is offered by Debian-based distributions through gnome-system-tools. From my personal perspective, I'd have preferred to make all custom code free software, but that was not my call to make.

After Libranet, I have mainly moved on to CentOS, and try to contribute the experience gained at Libranet to the CentOS project.
