What operating system and browser are you using?

Syllable-0.6.4-LiveCD-1.1.iso.htm for the lower link

Syllable-0.6.4-LiveCD-1.1.iso.bz2.htm for the top link

xp and ie

James, we've been entertaining the thought of porting to PS3, but 
it would be a lot of work. Realistically, we can only do it with 
Syllable Server, our Linux, but that is not complete enough yet to 
be meaningful on PS3

I tried burning it on another drive and using different software. 
I'll be right back

If you download the top link, you should be launched into a BitTorrent 
client if you have one installed

Are you sure that's what you get when you rightclick on the link 
and choose Save or something equivalent?

yes

I tried to boot on another computer but it seems that it is not bootable

I'll try torrent

How big is the file that you get?

the iso was 6.8 megs

torrent downloaded with the htm extension too

removed the .htm and bittorrent seems to be downloading it.

It must be almost 40 MB

sorry>>>46.8 megs

how is hte browser on syllable? that wasa always my beef with amiga.

That's the one. But it's a .bz2 file, compressed with BZip2

You should unpack if first. What extension does it get on your machine?

Our browser was always based on the KHTML engine from Konqueror on 
KDE on Linux

Years later, Apple also used it for Safari, and in our latest version, 
we have also changed to this improved WebKit engine

So the browser is unfinished like all of Syllable, but quite modern

And it's very fast and memory-friendly

Ok, I renamed it with the bz2 ext and used 7zip to decompress. Buring 
now. will try again...

Maybe the bz2 extensions comes through if you don't remove the htm 
extension, or maybe IE would have unpacked the file for you. IE is 
weird with that

But the link to our current main English live CD is a referal, because 
it was the first on our new storage. The others are less problematic

got it to boot but the display frequency wa out of range on one computer 
and it froze earlier in the sequence on the other

can't get the vm either???

What happens on downloading the VMware image?

Did you try the alternative boot options?

What video card do you have on the one where the frequency is out 
of range?

Please use the link to the VMware image from the How to Get Syllable 
page on the site. The link that happens to be on the live CD site 
seems to be broken

I released the second version of Syllable Server today:

We're already getting positive comments on including REBOL :-)

Kaj, mabe you can help me to get something straight.

I thought that Syllable uses it's own kernel AlthOS, right? What's 
the role of Linux (Linux kernel?) than? You mention Linux from time 
to time but why do you need it?

This year we made a big split. I created a Linux distro based on 
my build system for Syllable. We call it Syllable Server, and Syllable 
proper is now called Syllable Desktop

Syllable Server is the Linux I have been telling you about in the 
past

Server and Desktop are as similar as possible, enabled by my build 
system and the fact that Syllable Desktop was already POSIX compatible. 
But the lower layers of Server are Linux: the kernel and support 
software around it

We are porting the userspace of Desktop to Linux. My build system 
and package management are already there, including ORCA. We are 
working on porting Syllable's graphics system and desktop environment. 
It will not be based on X11

The Linux gives us stability right now, drivers and applications. 
One of those is REBOL/Core, which is included in Syllable Server

We are working on porting Syllable's graphics system and desktop 
environment. It will not be based on X11
 <--- I like it better already.

We're using DirectFB on Syllable Server and are going to put our 
own graphics system on top of that

The prototype is currently running on SDL

very nice. I like that someone finally has the guts to ditch X11.

Thanks :-)

DirectFB?
