Planet Sabayon Linux » sabayon http://planet.sabayon.org In Sabayon land with Sabayon devs Thu, 02 Sep 2010 08:10:34 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 New Sabayon Servers http://planet.sabayon.org/?p=1254 http://planet.sabayon.org/?p=1254#comments Wed, 11 Nov 2009 21:08:53 +0000 AjeZ http://planet.sabayonlinux.org/?p=1254 Finally Fabio gave me the pics of the server, and finally I’ve found some time to publish those pics! As we said on the website, thanks to your donations, the end of the fundraiser allowed us to buy the new servers. And now you can see how we spend your money to give you a better service and the best linux distro ever!
With the money (3000 €) we bought and installed two servers:

  • WWW server: Dell PowerEdge R200 w/Dual Core CPU, 2/4GB RAM, HW RAID1, 1TB HDx2
  • 2nd Entropy Server: Dell PowerEdge R200 w/Quad Core CPU, 4GB RAM, HW RAID1, 1TB HDx2

And thank to the University of Milan – D.I.S.C.O. Department for giving us the housing of the WWW Server (where Fabio took the pics).

Unluckily, Fabio got the pics with the cellphone, and it’s better as developer than as a photographer. Noone is perfect! Here comes the pics!

First of all, Fabio (on the right), Michele (on the left) and the servers:

Next is a overview of the Server Rack:

Finally I want to say that Sabayon Staff thanks you all again for your support and your donations. You can keep donating to Sabayon if you want to help us improve this distro more and more. And stay tuned, 5.1 will come very soon!

I should say, Mitch has been making progress on the Sabayon Live CD. A person really starts to feel the pressure of dependencies when making a cd. We have our first cd ready for the beta testers team. We don’t have a release date for the CD yet and only people that have access to it is the beta testers, so have some patience as we hammer away at it and get it ready for release. Remember, this release will be nothing like before. This release will not be for noobs. This release is all command line interface, there is no gui and you have to build it on your own. The cd will get you up and running with the necessities to do an install and leave you with only a command line. You will build it the way you want to via entropy or portage. Entropy and Portage are both working OOTB so fear not about that. Entropy will get you a desktop pretty quick, but you are still responsible for setting up all the configurations.

My first test and I had it installed in 15 minutes, course that doesn’t include any GUI, just the corecd itself. First thing I did after install was emerge –sync and than equo update to get my package managers up and ready to go. For basically an alpha release, it’s pretty darn good. I include some screenshots of what we have so far.

Told ya, no pretty stuffs but a beautiful command line. We will continue to test this and hopefully get this out to the public shortly. Oh, you can click the images for bigger pic also. The first one doesn’t have a larger image.

Stay Tuned!

Dedicated to those who like order over chaos, to those who like simplicity over complexity, to those who think that less is more, to those that just want more for less. Sabayon 4.1 will catch you, based on Sabayon 4 LiteMCE, represent what can be the future of our Operating System: just the best of the Out-Of-The-Box, GNOME, multimedia applications and nothing more than what you need for your daily tasks, but what about your free time? We’ve got it. XBMC (formerly known as Xbox Media Center) 8.10 is what you’ve ever wanted to build up a fantastic HTPC or Internet Multimedia Box, so what’s better than having it ready to use?
