The blog of the Ancient Mariner: Like I said a while back

Like I said a while back

I'm a sucker for new toys. Well, new OSs anyway.

I'm posting from the final release of Sabayon Linux v3.5 running as a live CD.

I have no idea how stable it is - live CDs tend to fall over FAST in my experience - but it looks VERY good in a Mandriva-ish kind of way. The old deep red colour scheme was cooler, but this is pleasant and clean in blue.

Best of all, this distro comes with libdvdcss so it *should* be fully possible to play back DVDs.

4 gig download - probably actually worth it.

*edit*
And yep, fonts are screwey in this version too, but the monitor image IS probably the sharpest and clearest I've seen from any linux OS, and I reckon just careful font selection will fix the rest. This may even supplant SuSE 11.0!

Play nice - I will delete anything I don't want associated with this blog and I will delete anonymous comments.

Why post emergent?

Why not?

Some years ago I wrote about things relating to church I thought were important then and probably still do to an extent. So many of us want to make sure stuff is right, trying to differentiate ourselves, yet also often miss the more important stuff, the bigger picture.

I watch various people doing church in different ways and wonder how much God is concerned about our 'important' bits of theology or stances we take. The church stream I was once so pleased to be part of is starting to look like every other church to me, so maybe it's time I had a little humility instead of pride at being different.
