Athlon64 Power Edition

May 23rd, 2007 Dark_Mage 5 comments

I was wondering how to leach the maximum power out of my athon64, and I’m trying to do this experiment: recompile the whole Sabayon 3.4 loop2 fully and aggressively optimized for an athlon64….let’s see what happens and if it’s stable:P
I’ll let you know when I’m finished

Website migration status and special partnership

May 21st, 2007 lxnay 2 comments

The work on the new website is coming along nicely, we had some troubles with the creation of our own templates but we’re getting there. I hope to switch to SmartME in a matter of days. The new look is so cool. Have a look here. I also took the time to restructure Sabayon Linux Bugzilla and Sabayon Linux Public SVN repository to couple well with the new look.

About the partnership, I’m just preparing something that might shock the Gentoo world :-)

Quick OS switching.

May 17th, 2007 eMxyzptlk Comments off

This article describes a very nice tip on how to switch between windows and linux using one command (or click ;) ), I was tired of forgetting to stop grub to select windows and of searching on the internet if someone has already done this, so I’ve created the scripts myself.

Requirement:

  • The scripts require a fully working GRUB installed on MBR of your hard disk.
  • Your boot partition must be either ext2 or ext3.

On Linux::
Download the functions folder as well as the files colors and Go2windows, put all the files in the same folder, now if you do:
$ ./Go2windows
and confirm, your computer should reboot directly on windows.

On Windows:
Download all the contents of this folder also read very carefully this file before doing anything, now once you have installed all the required programs, if you double click Go2Linux, your windows should reboot in about 10 seconds directly into linux.

Website redesign preview

May 11th, 2007 lxnay No comments

Hi all, here is a small preview of how the Sabayon Linux website will look like. Do not say thanks to me, but say thanks to Michele Tameni, administrator of AMD Planet Italia, a true friend of mine. If you like SmartME (which is also used on amdplanet.it), feel free to contact him. We decided to switch to something more Web 2.0 oriented, and we’re so close to it, Michele did a great job and he deserves all my support and my esteem, hence I wanted to publicly say THANKSSSSS to him!
