Sabayon Linux Review


System76

Brought to you by: System76

Sabayon Linux or Sabayon (formerly RR4 Linux and RR64 Linux), is a Gentoo-based Linux distribution. Sabayon follows the “out of the box” philosophy, aiming to give the user a wide number of applications ready to use and a self-configured operating system.

Sabayon Linux features a rolling release cycle, its own software repository and a package management system called Entropy. Sabayon is available in both x86 and AMD64 distributions and there is support for ARMv7 in development for the BeagleBone.

  • The installer feels a bit dated.

  • Uses systemd not OpenRC

  • Does not assume a tone of big and corporate. Dialogs are clear, and honest. Even a little fun.

  • Install and Download Process feels dates, download is not user friendly.

Novena is a 1.2GHz, Freescale quad-core ARM architecture computer closely coupled with a Xilinx FPGA. It’s designed for users who care about open source, and/or want to modify and extend their hardware: all the documentation for the PCBs is open and free to download, the entire OS is buildable from source, and it comes with a variety of features that facilitate rapid prototyping.

Barking and Dagenham Council swaps XP desktops for Chromebooks

Barking and Dagenham London Borough Council has switched to Google Chromebooks to migrate from Windows XP, which Microsoft will no longer support after 8 April.

The council is working with Google enterprise partner, Ancoris, and its joint venture outsourcing provider, Elevate East London, to roll out 1,500 Chromebooks and 500 Chromeboxes.

Ubuntu One falls from the clouds

But as of June 1st, 2014, syncing will stop. On July 31st, 2014, all data will be wiped. Ubuntu One will be no more.

“As of today, it will no longer be possible to purchase storage or music from the Ubuntu One store,” Canonical CEO Jane Silber wrote. “The Ubuntu One file services will not be included in the upcoming Ubuntu 14.04 LTS release, and the Ubuntu One apps in older versions of Ubuntu and in the Ubuntu, Google, and Apple stores will be updated appropriately. The current services will be unavailable from 1 June 2014; user content will remain available for download until 31 July, at which time it will be deleted.”

“Additionally, the free storage wars aren’t a sustainable place for us to be, particularly with other services now regularly offering 25GB–50GB free storage,” Silber wrote. “If we offer a service, we want it to compete on a global scale, and for Ubuntu One to continue to do that would require more investment than we are willing to make.”

The shutdown will not affect the Ubuntu One single sign on service, the Ubuntu One payment service, or the backend U1DB database service.

Cron Overview and Tricks:


System76

Brought to you by: System76

Cron is a daemon that executes scheduled commands. Cron searches its spool area (/var/spool/cron/crontabs) for crontab files.

Note that crontabs in this directory should not be accessed directly – the crontab command should be used to access and update them.

crontab entries sequence:

Sabayon 9 Review:

More and more of the folks we consider trend setters in our audience have begun singing the praises of Sabayon

Install:
  • The installer has a lot of powerful options, though the UI is not awesome.
  • The install process seems fairly easy, you’d never realize this was Gentoo.
General use:
  • Login screen is sliiiick
  • Update manager is really cool, showing the icon, name, and description of each package being updated.
  • Rigo Application Browser is simple, but exposes solid nerd features.
    • Rigo shows helpful warnings from the repo
  • Entropy is the package manager.
  • equo is the command line package manager that uses binaries. You can also use emerge, but keep them in sync.
  • Picking great default apps is BACK!
    • Chrome
    • Clementine
    • VLC for Media Playback
    • Great KDE Menu organization
    • God Dammit I love the terminal defaults
  • ZFS on Gentoo/Sabayon

Matt’s Howto:

Presented by: System76

1) Install Teeworlds. This is easy to do, just install it from the software center or via apt-get.

2) Use Audacity to take an existing MP3 and convert it into a wav file, via the ‘export to’ option. You will name the new wav file music_menu.wav as this is the file we’ll be working with.

3) Next, open up a terminal window and paste in the following:
sudo apt-get install wavpack

4) Assuming your wav file is saved to your Desktop, use the following comanand to convert the wav file into a wv file, so it works with the game.

cd Desktop

(In a single line in the terminal, space between -o and /home)
wavpack /home/$USER/Desktop/music_menu.wav -o /home/$USER/Desktop/music_menu.wv

5) With the new wv file created, you can now move the file into the appropriate directory.

sudo mv music_menu.wv /usr/share/games/teeworlds/data/audio/music_menu.wv

6) After closing the terminal, start the Teeworlds game and the music you hear, should be the same as the mp3 you converted into a wav, and then into a wv file.

Heads up — I’ve read you can export to wv from Audacity, however I’ve had no luck with it personally — so try this approach instead.

Microsoft has embraced SUSE and Ubuntu, and more open source developers are going full time. Is this the dawn of a new era rising over open source? Or desperate moves to stay profitable? We debate!

Plus: Chris makes a big announcement, and a super easy way to install custom fonts you find online, in Linux!
