Quick Look at Sabayon 6 (GNOME)
,----[ Quote ]
| A bit more than a year ago I had a look at the LXDE and Xfce spins of Sabayon
| 5.3 and came away quite unimpressed as they even refused to install on my low
| end hardware, but to be fair both these editions are still experimental and
| the advice is to use the more mature main GNOME and KDE editions.
| So today, with number 6 out, I'll finally write about those, and without
| hardware restrictions because I do not expect them to perform with less than
| 512 MB RAM. Some distributions still manage to do so, but Sabayon is known to
| be on the heavy side, and it isn't a problem on this Acer Aspire 5551 with
| 4GB.
|
| Sabayon is a customized distribution spin based on Gentoo, for those who don't
| fancy doing the whole compile and configure from absolute scratch. That's also
| already where the problem lies for me. What's the point of wanting to use a
| distribution whose strength it is apparently that everything is custom
| compiled for the machine it is on, when you then use a pre-compiled version of
| it done by somebody else on their machines. Why not just use any other binary
| distribution or ArchLinux as a happy medium, which does provide ready made
| packages but is both faster and just as configurable, with the option of
| compiling extra packages that you want to add to the small base should you be
| so inclined, or just go with what's available in the repository. Anyway, the
| choice is yours.
