Sabayon CD Update
Well, we have been making progress on the Sabayon Live CD. 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!
