“Sabayon Linux 5.0 was released about a year ago, and I
did a review of it for Desktop Linux Reviews. Version 5.4 has just
been released so I thought it was definitely worth a quick look to
see what has been updated and if it’s worth checking out.

“Sabayon Linux is based on Gentoo. Gentoo doesn’t have the most
user-friendly reputation, but Sabayon Linux goes a very long way
toward making Gentoo accessible to folks that want a
well-configured desktop “out of the box.”

“Sabayon Linux is available in GNOME, KDE, SpinBase (no desktop)
or CoreCDX (Fluxbox) versions. For this quick look, I installed the
GNOME version. The GNOME version I downloaded weighed in at 1.56
GB.”
