Kaj 29-Sep-2008 [1797] | Which ones have all the REBOL stuff integrated? |
Graham 3-Oct-2008 [1798] | Looks like Ubuntu are aiming at the vm hosting platform as well http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/serveredition/jeos |
Kaj 3-Oct-2008 [1799] | Yes, I may have mentioned JeOS here. It's been out for about a year |
Oldes 28-Oct-2008 [1800] | Is it possible to install Syllable on bootable SD card? |
Kaj 28-Oct-2008 [1801x3] | Depends |
If it is connected through an IDE interface, it should work just like a hard disk | |
If it is connected through a USB interface, like on the Asus EeePC for example, you may hit bugs in our USB support | |
BrianH 28-Oct-2008 [1804] | Assuming that interface is bootable on the computer in question, or course. |
Kaj 28-Oct-2008 [1805x3] | Yes, that, too |
In any case, if you want to try you need our development build | |
But that currently has a nasty binary incompatibility, so if you get it installed, you may not be able to run some other software | |
Kaj 9-Nov-2008 [1808x3] | The Dutch website of Software Freedom Day is now running on Syllable Server and Cheyenne: |
http://softwarefreedom.nl/ | |
It was already made with my REBOL CMS | |
Anton 9-Nov-2008 [1811] | Page loads nice and quick. |
Kaj 9-Nov-2008 [1812x4] | Thanks. We made sure it would by having static pages, but on the other hand, the connection is not overly powerful at 10 Mb/s |
The server is just a P3 650 MHz with 128 MB memory and an old 8 GB disk | |
It's running Cheyenne, possibly with QuarterMaster, FTP and an SSH server | |
If anyone here wants a test account on it, let me know | |
Gregg 10-Nov-2008 [1816] | Very cool Kaj. |
Kaj 10-Nov-2008 [1817] | Thanks |
Kaj 17-May-2009 [1818x4] | It's taken a long time this time, but we released Syllable Desktop 0.6.6 |
Many bugs were fixed, including several regressions from earlier releases. The window decorators don't destabilise the system anymore. The installation procedure is greatly enhanced with options to fix hardware support problems. The native web browser is replaced with Webster, based on a newer version of the WebKit engine. Many enhancements were made to standards support, leading, among others, to the ability to run QEmu - so now you can run virtual machines. The documentation was improved and several translations were added. Read more in the full release notes: http://downloads.syllable.org/Syllable/i586/systems/Desktop/0.6.6/README-SyllableDesktop-0.6.6.txt ISO CD images, (VMware) emulator images, an upgrade pack and documentation are available from the download page: http://web.syllable.org/pages/get-Syllable.html Extra software is available here: http://web.syllable.org/Syllable/downloads.html | |
Here's the announcement on OSNews: | |

BrianH 17-May-2009 [1822] | Is running in VirtualBox tested? |
Kaj 17-May-2009 [1823x2] | Yes. We have some conflicting reports about it, but it should work, using the boot entry we supply for it |
On the other hand, VirtualBox is weird. VMware and QEmu often give better results | |
Kaj 21-Oct-2009 [1825x4] | Maxim, the OpenGL situation in DirectFB is still quite unclear |
DirectFB 2, with OpenGL support, still seems to be just a plan | |
There's an old OpenGL extension that was revived a year ago and then again not updated. If it works, it probably only supports hardware acceleration on one old video chip | |
So it looks like for some time to come, you will still need X11 for hardware accelerated OpenGL | |
Maxim 21-Oct-2009 [1829] | ok |
Kaj 21-Oct-2009 [1830] | Software OpenGL should be possible on SDL, though, for testing or low speed requirements |
Kaj 23-Nov-2009 [1831] | I am connected running AltME on Syllable Server now |
Graham 23-Nov-2009 [1832] | eh??? syllable server has a gui? |
Kaj 23-Nov-2009 [1833x2] | It has now :-) |
I ported Nix as extra package manager and used that to install X11 | |
Graham 23-Nov-2009 [1835] | Can it run Hylafax ? |
Kaj 23-Nov-2009 [1836x2] | Sure, if you compile it |
I don' t think it' s in Nix | |
Graham 23-Nov-2009 [1838] | And rebol 2? |
Kaj 23-Nov-2009 [1839] | Been included with Syllable Server since the beginning, a few years now |
Graham 23-Nov-2009 [1840] | cheyenne I guess is okay? |
Kaj 23-Nov-2009 [1841x2] | With X11 you could also run View now, but the X11 installation process is currently a lot of work |
Using Cheyenne to run tens of websites here, including Try REBOL | |
Gregg 23-Nov-2009 [1843] | Excellent news Kaj! |
Geomol 23-Nov-2009 [1844] | I really wish, I had more time, so I could also try this out. Well, hopefully some day, I'll see this in action. |
Kaj 23-Nov-2009 [1845] | Thanks! |
Kaj 13-Dec-2009 [1846] | Got R3 running through the host build on both Syllable Desktop and Syllable Server |
