Planet Sabayon Linux

I’ve added 4 pages to the blog here to help the community see the actions behind the scenes. You should see the new pages up in the right hand corner at all times. I’ve add the Sabayon Linux x86 and Sabayon Linux x86_64 pages to keep you up to date with the latest packages added to entropy branch 4. The Latest SVN page will keep you up to date of current projects being worked on. The Latest Overlay page will keep you up to date with the latest packages put into the Sabayon overlay. The overlay packages are for layman and emerge.  Packages that go into overlay will get built for entropy, so don’t think you’ll miss out.  We’ve always had rss feeds available for keeping up, but I think many had no idea and I hope this will help and make it easy to keep up by having it all here on the blog.

Two quick things:

The KDE fans should all be happy with KDE-4.2.1 hitting entropy, built with qt-4.5 for better performance.  On my amd64 x2 5200+ I had the KDE via entropy in about an hour and 1o minutes.  This is a great increase from a previous older install of KDE  I had done.  Some of you may experience faster times pending on your bandwidth and cpu.  Thanks to Joost for taking the time to update KDE.

You can see on the Latest Overlay page that v00d00 has brought in the new alpha artwork package.  I actually tested that package out and it’s looking great.  The emerge failed due to file collisions, but once I removed the collisions it installed just fine.  Can’t wait to see what Ian comes up with next.  Perhaps our new logo?  We’ll have to stayed tuned to the blog to find out.

Out for now…
