Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1143] | The first phase, building the base Linux, was mine. Now it's up to our project leader to port the Syllable stuff. I think I'm going to push him like we push Carl. :-) Actually, I'm hoping he will feel the pressure from people like you asking for it :-) |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1144] | yeah .. some of us are too old to remember command line arguments and tool usage |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1145x2] | I'm actually forced to learn Linux now ;-) |
I'm fairly sure I'm the first person in the world to build a Linux without caring much for it :-) | |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1147] | a html version of the readme would be nice :) |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1148] | Yeah, but that belongs in a somewhat long-term grand plan to design our documentation framework |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1149] | use a wiki |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1150x2] | No, there's noone but me for some time to come who could write this documentation |
I've actually had a REBOL HTML generator for years, I just need to wrap it up and it wasn't worth postponing Server for | |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1152x2] | reading txt files in a browser is very tricky |
understanding Brenno de Winter's article is even harder | |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1154x3] | It can easily be downloaded into a line-wrapping viewer |
That's a problem of a different order: learn Dutch :-) | |
Anyway, I'vejust replaced our website with my own REBOL content management system, so the documentation plan has been set in motion | |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1157] | Yet Another Rebol Content Management System ? |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1158x2] | Yup |
Sorry, but I don't understand why nobody does it my way :-) | |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1160x3] | You're definitely not being invited to R3! |
I'd consider using it as a virtualisation platform, but I guess I'd wait till a GUI was wrapped around at least the installation | |
and I could VNC into the server | |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1163x3] | Yeah, I'm looking at VNC and stuff like that for the next round |
QEmu has a built-in VNC server, so if you run virtualised systems on Server, you should be able to VNC into them; but I haven't tried it yet | |
There's also VNC support in the DirectFB video subsystem, so that we be another level to integrate at, but I have to build it in first | |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1166x2] | make sure that you have an image that can run on S3 :) |
.. I mean EC2 | |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1168x3] | Ehm, that's a secret plan... |
Our website already runs on S3, and our downloads | |
Supported by my CMS, albeit through Ruby | |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1171] | interesting |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1172x2] | Starting to feel for my way? ;-) |
A basic installer is one of the next projects, but it's one of those things that I don't know when I will get to | |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1174] | a movie will do :) |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1175] | An instruction movie? |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1176] | yeah .. |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1177] | Do you think that would add to command-line instructions? |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1178] | it means I wouldn't have to read the instructions :) |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1179] | You won't get away with that :-) |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1180] | Amazon have all those instructional movies |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1181] | But I could do a slideshow when I prepare an emulator image] |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1182] | Only hard core users will do a console install .. so need to bridge to those others |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1183x2] | Yeah, it's for hardcore and adventurous users now. After you install, you're on your own configuring, anyway |
But I made sure that all standard configurations have useful default settings, unlike most Linuxes | |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1185x2] | We moved our daylight saving this year ... |
I think all my linux boxes have the wrong time. | |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1187] | If you're installing on a stand-alone machine, you could get away without configuring anything, and with a different partition setup you only have to modify the filesystem table, which is standard practice for Unix types |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1188] | and there doesn't appear to be a fix for windows 2000 |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1189] | Yeah, I read Debian refused to update it? |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1190] | Will Syllable be better ? |
Kaj 6-Oct-2007 [1191] | Eventually... |
Graham 6-Oct-2007 [1192] | Support NZ's new daylight saving hours? |
