Free sabayon software for linux

Sabayon Linux is a live DVD designed to transform a computer into a powerful Gentoo Linux system in less than 5 minutes.
Gentoo Linux is a Linux distribution powered by a software install manager engine called "Portage". Besides functioning as a live DVD, Sabayon Linux can also be installed on a hard disk, acting effectively as an easy-to-use Gentoo installation disk.
The live DVD includes a large range of desktop environments and open source software applications, such as KDE, GNOME, XFce, Fluxbox, KOffice, OpenOffice.org, FreeNX, amaroK, Kaffeine, etc.

sidux-highway is a KDM theme as a modification of the Sabayon KDM theme "Open Future".

The highway picture was taken and modified by me, the go.png is taken from "crystalline black" icons (kde-look.org #46349), session.png and system.png are modified nuoveXT icons (kde-look.org #26449). The small pictures inside the monitor and folder are sidux wallpapers.

Modifications:

changed wallpaper and icons and resized and repositioned the userlist slightly, added missing screenshot

The highway picture is widescreen 1920x1200. Should be easy to resize it if needed. For your convenience I also have added a 1024x768 version, just rename it if you want to use it instead of the WUXGA picture.

To use the theme untar it to /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/ and either change your /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc manually or use kcontrol if you have the kdmtheme module.

ATTENTION: If you use a display height other than 1200 the position of the login area (that half transparent stripe) will be different from what you see in the preview. If you want to have the same position with another display height you can easily adjust it by editing the file highway.xml with your favorite text editor. Just go to line 49 and change the y-value that by default is "-485". Its an easy rule of three: lets say you have a display height of 800: 800x485/1200=323 - go and replace -485 by -323.

Its basic principle is heavily influenced by Gnomes Sabayon. Instead of the desktop though, cft is focused on traditional system administrators and how they maintain machines, mostly with command line tools.

Cft uses puppet as its backbone for expressing the configuration of a system, and for understanding in greater detail what changes the admin has made to the system. Sites that already use puppet to manage their configuration can easily integrate cfts output into the overall site configuration; for sites that use some other means of configuration management, cfts output provides a complete record of changes made and serves as a good starting point of integrating the changes back into the sites configuration.

Example:

In lieu of colorful screenshots, a simple example will explain in more detail how cft works: cft organizes changes in sessions to let the user better indicate what aspect of the system they are fixing (the webserver, the mailserver etc.) A simple session to fix the configuration of postfix and to start and enable the service might entail root running the following commands:

tux:1# cft begin postfix
tux:2# yum -y install postfix
tux:3# vi /etc/postfix/main.cf
tux:4# chkconfig postfix on
tux:5# service postfix start
tux:6# cft finish postfix

Note that the user only had to issue two additonal commands to begin and finish the session, everything else in the session is exactly the same as if the changes had been made without cft. The command cft begin postfix tells cft to start a session called postfix, and the last command cft finish postfix tells it to do the final bookkeeping necessary for analysing the results.

Once the commands above have been issued, running cft manifest postfix will print the changes in the form of a puppet manifest:

tux:6# cft manifest postfix
class postfix {
package { postfix.i386:
ensure => 2:2.3.3-2
}

service { postfix:
enable => true,
pattern => postfix,
ensure => running
}

file { /etc/aliases.db:
group => smmsp,
owner => root,
mode => 0640,
source => /tmp/cft/postfix/after/etc/aliases.db
}

file { /etc/postfix/main.cf:
group => root,
owner => root,
mode => 0644,
source => /tmp/cft/postfix/after/etc/postfix/main.cf
}
}

This manifest tells puppet that puppet should enable and start the postfix service, and that the two files should be copied from the location mentioned as the source and receive the given owner, group, and mode. cft takes care of copying all modified files into a safe location so that they can be copied off the machine into a central location. The mention of the file aliases.db is somewhat spurious: it gets automatically recreated by the init script for postfix, and cft treats it exactly as if the user had created the file.
To facilitate moving the changes onto a central serevr, cft can also convert a session into a tarball that contains both the puppet manifest and all the files that are mentioned in it, in this case aliases.db and main.cf. Fancier, more convenient methods of integrating changes back into a central puppet server are planned for the future.
