Sabayon Forensics KDE Lives – Sabayon 5.5?
850 days
Sabayon Forensics KDE
Slowly but surely and this is the first build that I am truly happy with. It’s not available for download yet, but I believe that will be the next step now. I’m loving the performance I am getting out of this. It’s loading faster and is snappier than the stock Sabayon KDE daily. Something like 57 packages been added and 67 packages removed and weighs in at 2.9GB. Those ophcrack tables are heavy :-/
Sabayon Forensics KDE
It has all tools found on the Sabayon Forensics Gnome edition but in KDE desktop of course. It has all the latest updates from entropy, including kernel sabayon 2.6.37-sabayon. The program slocate has been swapped out for mlocate now. All you got to do is sudo updatedb and than use command like locate *.jpg. I just love the sync feature of google chrome. Boot up Sabayon Forensics, fire up chrome, head into preferences, setup sync and presto, you’ve got your internets. I did notice the beta Firefox is also doing something similar, but I didn’t seem to have much luck with it. I didn’t spend enough time on it either, but chrome has become my main browser. My favorite app from the chrome web store is TweetDeck.
So I need to organize my local stuff here and migrate it to the web server now. I need to check with Fabio on a few things first, catching him will be the fun part as Sabayon 5.5 is getting ready to roll out the door. Gonna try for the first part of February for a 5.5 release, so with our track record of releases, March is a safe bet. Seriously tho, February is the goal. We just never hit our goal, :-/ Test a daily Sabayon and give feedback to help work out any bugs so we can get it out the door. The current daily is looking pretty good tho, so it shouldn’t be too much to label a 5.5 release. The only thing I am seeing on the gnome x86 edition is the kernel/module issue, but that is already fixed and should be live on Sunday’s build. My USB drive is gonna need a vacation in March with the rsyncing and reloading several times in a day.
