Sabayon – Naendo and Development
Joost and Thev00d00 have been working hard in putting together a community repository to offer more to Sabayon Linux community.
Whats in it?
KDE 4.2, E17 SVN, LXDE SVN, Songbird, Firefox 3.1…. To much to list, see http://entropy.hyperfish.org/standard/naendo/packages
Do you provide x86 and AMD64 packages?
YES! This repo is both x86 and amd64 allowing you to experience the newest software on both versions of sabayon! w00t

What Sabayon Version do you need?
Any on the 4.0 branch, including: 4.0, 4.0-r1 and 4.0-LiteMCE
We have set up a sub-forum for getting support, discussion and requesting packages at the Sabayon Linux forum. Please see Naendo Community Repository
On another note, the feedback from LiteMCE has been good. People are reporting lesser issues than Sabayon Linux 4.o full dvd. People are able to add the software they desire to it. We seem to run into a font issue here and there with the entire 4.0 series, but overall it’s been good. I’ve seen some packages mentioned for the next release and think they would be great editions, but we want to keep the LiteMCE editions light, so we have to becareful with the packages we choose to add. With the power of entropy, it’s easy to add your favorite application, but I will keep an eye out on packages that get mentioned over and over. I would like to see some more plugins working OOTB with xbmc, but that isn’t the easiest thing to do I am finding out quickly. XBMC 8.10-r5 is available and in testing it, I didn’t run into any problems, so we should be able to bump that version safely. I would like to hear from xbmc fans of which plugins are your must have ones. I like the hulu plugin, but unable to get that working in the current version. It works in the svn version, but than I loose sound with svn. It’s a true work in progress I guess.
Development is discussing various ideas, working out the 4.0 glitches and continued art-work. I would like to see us stick with the LiteMCE edition and offer it for Gnome and KDE, than do away with the full dvd release completely. Joost brought up doing a minimal core cd, which would be a fast quick download and than use the power of entropy to build your own system. Our current installer allows core install, but it’s big download just to get a core install, plus the core install is the longest install process. A core cd would get you up very quickly. So that is something we are kicking around in the dirt for future stuff. Remember, these are just our ideas at the moment, nothing actually being built.
Good news for UNetbootin fans, LiteMCE has been added officially to the latest version. This is great for those that don’t have a cd/dvd drive. I have not tried this method myself, be interesting to hear user experiences with it. If anyone is interested in doing a wiki page in our wiki on it, feel free to go for it. The more options/resources we have for the community, the better.
Thanks for all recent feedback!
