"It's an extremely powerful and customizable version of
Linux but installing it in the past has sometimes been difficult
for some folks. Gentoo has had the reputation of being one of the
"geek's geek" types of Linux distributions.
"Sabayon Linux takes away the potential headaches of Gentoo and
makes it mostly very easy and simple to get a Gentoo-based
distribution up and running on your machine. Note that this review
covers the Gnome version, there is also a KDE version
available.
"New stuff in this release:
* 2.6.29.1 Linux Kernel
* Compiz and Compiz Fusion 0.8.2
* KDE and Gnome Versions
* Defaults To ext4 for New Installs"
