UPGRADE INFO:


UPGRADE INFO:
Using this feature, you can upgrade any Gentoo-based installation (Gentoo, VLOS, RR4, RR64) to the latest SabayonLinux without losing your personal data and settings. Our Team, however, will only actively support the upgrades using SabayonLinux as base.
Also, you can:


* 6th senseing your running system: installed packages will be updated to the ones on the DVD and the conflicting ones automatically removed.
* You can fix your current installation by choosing to reinstall every package, This will take a lot of time but will resurrect your SabayonLinux installation in cases of hard damaging.
* You could (even if it's not so much tested) even upgrade your 32bit installation to a powerful 64bit one (but not the contrary) by using the function described above.
* You can re-configure/reinstall your GRUB (Boot) settings/ without touching any configuration file and/or command line.

Pacchetti precompilati? Ma così non va un po' a putt... tutto il vantaggio di usare gentoo ?

Pacchetti precompilati? Ma così non va un po' a putt... tutto il vantaggio di usare gentoo ?

Te la puoi sempre ricompilare tutta

PS:

DeviceScape wireless stack;

Cos'è?

Ciao!

ANCHE dei pacchetti precompilati stile .PBI di PC-BSD.

ovviamente il sistema di base è sempre emerge come in tutte le gentoo, con volendo interfaccia grafica.


però se vuoi provare qualcosa velocemente al volo senza doverla ricompilare con sti pacchetti ne hai la possibilità.


imho è comoda, molto comoda.
