First impressions: Sabayon Linux Four Oh!

,----[ Quote ]
| Two years ago I ran into Sabayon Linux for the first time.  Version 3.2 was 
| about to be released and I gave Sabayon a spin on my laptop. The article on 
| my Dutch website about my experiences is still attracting a lot of readers, 
| which indicates a consistent and growing interest in this Linux distribution. 
| Strange enough, I wasn’t very lucky with later releases which simply refused 
| to be installed. Two weeks ago Sabayon Linux Four Oh! was released. How far 
| did Sabayon progress over the last two years?

| So, coming back to the question: “How far did Sabayon progress over the last 
| two years?” what is the answer? Well, Sabayon kept it’s strong points: 
| bleeding edge, style and easy installation, and is adding a solid and fast 
| package manager to extend your box.  With a distribution that is pushing 
| forward as much as Sabayon is doing you can expect some rough edges, 
| but -apart from minor issues- it didn’t hinder me from using Four Oh! for day 
| to day work. The only set back is the speed of the desktop. There is 
| definitely some room for improvement in that area. But, overall, a nice 
| release. Kudos for the team. I will be checking Sabayon again in the near  
| future.

| Also, it’s very probable that Sabayon 4.1 will be shipped in two forms,
| Sabayon and Sabayon Lite (DVD version with just one Desktop Environment and
| only selected applications).

| Some of them are: KDE4, GNOME 2.24, 2.6.27/28 kernel, i686 CHOST, new theme,
| Entropy 0.24. To sum up, it’s something I’ve been working on since Jan. 2007,
| more than 150000 lines of code, AI.
