World: r3wp

Although Linux is relatively successful on servers (just not as successful 
as its proponents want to believe), we have also introduced Syllable 
Server this year, a Linux built in the same way as Syllable Desktop 
to offer a complete network platform

Kaj, I never knew about the "Amiga-Syllable" Connection. I better 
check it out again.

Contrary to popular opinion I've been a bit careful to hold back 
on promotion, because Syllable is just a guest here

Syllable started out as a plan for an Amiga clone halfway the nineties. 
Not much code had been written yet when it changed into a unique 
OS. After a few rewrites, large parts of it were modeled on BeOS

Kaj, no one here would not know how much you are involved with Syllable 
: ) kaj: "syllable "  ... in my mind.

I thought the Syllable screenshot running a DOS emulator running 
my Atari 8-bit emulator running a Boing ball demo in the Amiga group 
here would be a giveaway :-)

Yeah, that's pretty obvious! I've been thinking about getting a PS3 
to run as a linux box (for fun mostly as I do most of my work on 
a XP PC). Personally I think there's potential in that marketplace 
for a solid OS. Any thoughts?

Live cd would not boot

but I suspected there might be a problem as when I tried to download 
it it had an htm extension which I removed to save as an iso extension

i'll try again

If you could burn it, it should have been an ISO. But there should 
not be an .htm extension

Did you burn it as an ISO image, not as a data file?

You should at least get to the startup menu of the boot loader

After that you may have hardware support problems, but there are 
several options to try in the boot menu

If you download the English live CD on Windows, the website says 
that you should rightclick on it

yes as an iso...if you click the link it brings me to a web page 
with jibberish on the screen as if its displaying binary data so 
I saved and changed the name removing the htm.

That most probably doesn't yield a proper CD ISO. It says to rightclick

yes I right clicked and saved file without the htm extension.

having trouble gettting hte vm version too

It's not even refering to an HTML page. I get an .iso.bz2 extension

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?
