The problem is that it takes to much time to install any new app in Gentoo.<br /><br />I do not know why I prefer the roots over the forks, I mean Debian over *buntos, Gentoo over Sabayon. <br /><br />But I will add Sabayon to my list of future tests. I already have Mint there. :)Guillermo Garronhttp://garron.menoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-3946458128630536102011-07-11T22:04:43.501+01:002011-07-11T22:04:43.501+01:00@Anonymous (Harry):

I wrote small remarks about what happened when I tried Sabayon on "difficult" hardware. But decided not to change tone because of that. 8-)DarkDuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128579430145372138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-41157559777970461592011-07-11T18:04:20.848+01:002011-07-11T18:04:20.848+01:00Glad you liked Sabayon 6 KDE.:).

I read ur previous review on Sabayon 5.5 XFCE and was pretty disappointed coz it concluded more like "stay away from Sabayon altogether". <br />I use the GNOME edition on my laptop and it is snappier than Ubuntu-based distros while being eye candy. All the drivers (incl. NVIDIA are installed automatically). Additional softwares many of which are not in Ubuntu or Debian repos (e.g., JBoss AS) are in Sabayon.<br />Looking forward to other reviews,<br />HarryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-4809887345592649362011-07-08T14:08:11.907+01:002011-07-08T14:08:11.907+01:00@Simon:

But I decided to quit.<br />I tried few distros, and made a decision to switch from Ubuntu and Kubuntu to <a href="http://linuxblog.darkduck.com/2011/06/mageia-cal-win-over-humanity.html" rel="nofollow">Mageia</a> and [yet to be revealed]. I would consider Sabayon probably too. But have a look at Mageia as well.DarkDuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128579430145372138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-474321140763590831.post-79693394997466308312011-07-08T14:00:17.175+01:002011-07-08T14:00:17.175+01:00I've recently become irritated enough by Ubunt...I've recently become irritated enough by Ubuntu's new Unity desktop that I decided to look for a new distribution. And while I'm at it I'm also trying other desktops and like KDE very much.
