Re: [PLUG] sshd on sabayon

I like it a lot. I haven't tried to recompile EVERYTHING by source yet, but I like the fact it's an option. I like gnome 3. I like the new packages, and I love chromium as the default browser. I have had some trouble getting google voice and video to work on it as they are only available as deb or rpm packages, but I think I just have to hack at it a while to get it working. I am keeping sabayon on my netbook for now, and overall I am happy.

It's been a few weeks - how do you like Sabayon?
Anything to recommend or condemn it for?

It is taking some getting used to coming from the debian/ubuntu world, but I like it. Everything worked out of the box besides sshd. I am not going to fault sabayon for this, I am glad it comes locked down by default. Another day when I am less concerned about getting my files back I will set up a firewall again.

I'm copying my tarball backup over right now. It's nice to know that saybayon comes locked down, but I need to be able to ssh to make backups. I typically use sshfs to mount my laptop filesystem on my desktop when I want to make/restore a backup.

You also can just turn it on or off and set whether it runs at boot - most likely it is just a service (so use rc-update to manipulate the runlevels).
