“There is a newer distro in town, gaining traction. Sabayon
Linux is an installable, Gentoo based live Cd/DVD. It has the
stated goal of being 100% Gentoo compatible. A lot of attention has
been paid to the Sabayon brand. Theming is consistent and striking.
Sabayon is one of the best looking distros I have used. They use a
yellow,orange and red theme that is fresh and unlike any other
Linux distribution. Beryl is used by default. It is a KDE distro
with the option to use Fluxbox as your Desktop Environment. Sabayon
gets it’s name from an Italian desert, to quote
the website and Wikipedia: ‘Sabayon is an Italian dessert made with
egg yolks, sugar, a sweet liquor (usually Marsala wine), and
sometimes cream or whole eggs. It is a very light custard, which
has been whipped to incorporate a large amount of air.’ Sabayon
refers to its users as ‘Hens’ which isn’t as
off putting as you might think…”
