MoonOs 4 "Neak"

With the release of Neak, the moonOs team uses GoboHide tool from GoboLinux^[1] to compile a Linux kernel that uses a file hierarchy exclusive to moonOs. 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 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.
