TriedIT takes the Sabayon Linux 3.3 LiveDVD for a spin.
Sabayon Linux aims to give users all the bleeding edge software of SimplyMEPIS and PCLinuxOS but is based on Gentoo and uses Portage as its package management system. I haven’t used Gentoo for a couple of years now, but Sabayon’s popularity is continually increasing and with a new release it’s now time to give it a try.
I have been trying out Sabayon Linux 3.3 for about a week and I am very, very impressed. It is a VERY big download (>4GB) so it will probably put off fans ‘lightweight’ distros. However, you get a LOT of software included and once downloaded most users will not have to spend more time adding packages, as you do in other distros. It also has an amazing 3D desktop and effects that will make Vista users wonder why they paid all thay money!
