Press Release: Sabayon Linux 5.4 “Experimental Spins” releases

Our crew, is happy to announce the immediate availability of E17, XFCE, LXDE, SpinBase/OpenVZ, ServerBase Sabayon 5.4 “Spins” built on top of Sabayon “SpinBase” ISO images.
Under the “Experimental Spins” umbrella, the Sabayon developers are going to experiment new Stable Releases with different package compositions.
Just like the other regular Sabayon releases, these “Experimental Spins” are also daily built by our Build Servers and available in our mirrors inside the “iso/daily” directory.
The E17 Spin contains the famous, stable-releases-are-for-n00bs, often compared to Duke Nukem Forever, Enlightenment 17 Desktop Environment.
XFCE and LXDE contain, surprise surprise, the respective Desktop Environments, while SpinBase/OpenVZ contains, guess what, an OpenVZ template ready to go!
Last but not least, ServerBase is our first public ISO image, based on SpinBase, powered by a server-oriented Linux kernel.

Sabayon Linux 5.4RC1 GNOME/KDE {>=20100917-DAILY} Testing Release

Sabayon 5.4 RC1

Sabayon 5.4 RC1

Hi everybody,
this is the first time our final release phase is being worked out
publicly :-) YAY

Let me spend some words on how it works: our staff is going to
“virtually tag” a particular DAILY ISO image version as “Release
Candidate”.
In our case, “Release Candidate” means that some things may or may not
work because they haven’t been tested yet, and these ongoing
iterations are just meant to address this.
This is not a Press Release but just a way to let everybody contribute
to our release plan in Subject.

~~~ Where to get DAILY ISO images?
At http://www.sabayon.org/download you will be able to find DAILY iso
images inside the “iso/daily” directory. Make sure that the .iso image
file version is greater or equal than the target version in the curly
brackets in the subject of this e-mail. Our staffers have direct
access to fresh DAILY ISO images, which are rebuilt every 24 hours.
Unfortunately, due to bandwidth matters, we cannot let everybody
access them faster than the public ISO images sync frequency (see
below).

~~~ How can you help us?
By downloading any of the *{x86,amd64}_{G,K}.iso files, checking it’s
md5sum to make sure your download is not corrupted. Every report MUST
be followed by detailed information in order to help us to spot the
issue. If you are unsure about what logs have to be attached, just ask
us here or on IRC. If your report is incomplete, it will be just
thrown away, feeding the World’s bitbucket.

~~~ What’s the ISO images update frequency?
We sync public ISO images every 3 days.

~~~ What to test?
We have a tracking bug at our Bugzilla:
https://bugs.sabayon.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1797
Don’t comment directly to that bug but rather click on the blocker
bugs to see what has been already reported to not work. Anything you
report on bugzilla related to these testing cycle has to block the bug
at URL above.
If you don’t know how to report things on Bugzilla, then you might not
be the right person in the right place.

~~~ How do I know what specific DAILY version is bound to a specific
Release Candidate?
Just watch this map:
>=20100917 => 5.4RC1

Let the fun begin now!
