First Syllicon! | Oct 6, 10:00 |
The first development release of Syllable
Server is available! It provides a text mode Linux environment, but
also contains a preliminary graphical environment built on the
framebuffer device, with DirectFB and SDL on top. The planned graphical
environment from Syllable Desktop is not included yet. The installation
procedure is short, but is still manual - and resembles the
installation procedure for the old AtheOS.
Included are tools such as a graphical web browser, a file manager and
an editor. One thing Syllable Server is designed for is to function as
a light-weight virtualisation platform for running other operating
systems (or multiple instances of itself). The QEmu
virtualisor/emulator is included, and the KQEmu Accelerator kernel
module is integrated into the system. [Screenshot
