[REBOL] Syllable Server released with extensive REBOL support
From: kaj::syllable::org at: 16-Sep-2008 22:55
Hello list,
Several of you know me from AltME, or even from IOS years back. I joined
the mailing list because I have an announcement to make to the wider
REBOL community. For six years now I have been working on the Syllable
operating system and have integrated some REBOL support in it in the
form of the ORCA clone. While Syllable is a unique system (which we call
Syllable Desktop now), for the last few years I have also been creating
a largely similar Linux distribution, which we call Syllable Server. We
just released version 0.3 of Syllable Server, which both reaches a good
level of usability as a server and includes a lot more REBOL
functionality. One success we already achieved with it is that we are
now listed on http://distrowatch.com/syllable , the major index of Linux
distributions.
Here's our press release:
The third release of Syllable Server has been published. This is an
important release, because it is the first one that focused on making
the system actually usable as a server. A number of popular servers were
added and configured, and also several innovative REBOL software stacks.
Out of the imaginary box, Syllable Server is now ready for such things
as accepting remote SSH log-ins over the network, running a web server
on the Cheyenne <http://cheyenne-server.org/> REBOL server, running an
FTP server and several more. Special attention has been paid to
programmability, with support for developing Model-View-Controller web
applications in QuarterMaster <http://www.ross-gill.com/QM/> and
networking applications with the REBOL/Services
<http://rebol.com/docs/services/> Service Oriented Architecture. The
Genode <http://genode.org/> Nitpicker windowing system is also included.

<http://web.syllable.org/Server/Changes.txt>. An extensive manual
<http://downloads.syllable.org/Linux/i486/systems/Server/0.3/README-SyllableServer-0.3.txt>
was also written, which is easy to follow. As usual, both a BitTorrent
download
<http://downloads.syllable.org/Linux/i486/systems/Server/0.3/SyllableServer-0.3.i486.tar.7z?torrent>
(preferred) and a regular download
<http://downloads.syllable.org/Linux/i486/systems/Server/0.3/SyllableServer-0.3.i486.tar.7z>
are available (80 MB 7-Zip archive). Please use the torrent if you can.
I hope you can do something useful with this, and if you do, please let
us know, maybe through dropping by at http://syllable.org .

Kaj de Vos
