What is svarionz?
-----------------
It is a minimal virtual machine linux server, based on slackware and virtualbox.

Why it is called svarionz?
--------------------------
Cause Patrick V. doesn't want that projects derived from Slackware are named like minislack, 
or slackstuff or any word containing the "slack" word.

How do I configure my network?
------------------------------
First you should configure your virtual network, for example if you are on windows and you want to do web development with LAMP, type

C:\>cd C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage.exe modifyvm "yourSvarionzVirtualMachineName" --natpf1 ",tcp,,8080,,80"
Oracle VM VirtualBox Command Line Management Interface Version 3.2.8
(C) 2005-2010 Oracle Corporation

so if you have an Apache server running on your guest machine
and you go with your host machine browser to the url

http://192.168.56.1:8080

you can see something that
It Works!

:)

You should also reconfigure your network configuration to change 
hostname (default is svarionz) and , domain (default is example.org) .
Boot your svarionz and type

root@svarionz:~# netconfig

choose your hostname, then your domain and press enter, enter, enter, enter :)


Ok, tell me root password so I can start.
-----------------------------------------

There is NO root password, just login as root and type enter.

If you need to set your root password, type

root@svarionz:~# passwd

Now it's time to install what you need. You can use the slackpkg command, but ...

Before you install|upgrade|reinstall anything, you need to uncomment 
ONE mirror in /etc/slackpkg/mirrors and run:

root@svarionz:~# slackpkg update

You can see more information about slackpkg functions in slackpkg manpage


Enjoy
