LAMP on VMware Technology Network

Monday, February 27th, 2006

I am happy to see a link to download a VMware Player image of the LAMP project I created on rBuilder Online. Check it out at VMTN. It is nice to see it in lights :-)

Foresight 0.9.4.pre2 isos, qemu and vmplayer images

Saturday, February 25th, 2006

Released new isos today, not much changed. A couple bug fixes, plus we now only ship gstreamer-0.8. Include 0.10 was just too problematic for now. Also including madwifi and ndiswrapper kernel modules again. This makes it much easier for folks to get online.

Also I am very excited to announce the availability of qemu and VMWare Player images. Thanks to rBuilder, we can now produce virtual machine images. Very cool!

Go and get it

Foresight Desktop Linux 0.9.4.pre1 released

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

I am please to announce another release of Foresight Desktop Linux. I am also quite proud to say we have reached conary 1.0, which is included! Great work by the Conary team, and many thanks!

Virtually everything is updated, too much to list. We are now derived from rPath Linux 1.0 (Yes another 1.0, thanks Distro dudes!). The label for that is conary.rpath.com@rpl:1, so that is the stable branch we derive from. I think that will give us a good, solid base and make things more sane to maintain.

A major update is GNOME. We are now sporting the new, shiney, everyone must have GNOME 2.13.91. This is the current development branch of GNOME, but quite stable.

Some highlights:
Conary 1.0.2
Kernel 2.6.15.3
GNOME 2.13.91
NetworkManager 0.5.1
gnome-power-manager 2.13.91
GNOME Screensaver 2.13.91 (replacing xscreensaver)
Latest Banshee, Beagle and F-Spot

Get it here! Go ahead, don’t be shy.

Soon (when I get time to test them), there will be qemu and VMWare Player images available… go ahead, drool. I will be sure to post links.
