My Sabayon Review
Fully loaded to the brim Practically spilling over the edges. I like Sabayon Quite a bit for Its ease of use, however, there are a few things I would change.
Lets start with a shot of my fancy ass desk top though.
Now however fancy and spiffy it might look that I find to be one of Sabayons drawbacks it seems to take some Processor just to have the fancy transparent Panels. though it is only a percentage of like %3. I will definitely say it is the cutting edge of technology with all its fancy interface and if you like its got the beryl and stuff all Packed in I just stuck with KDE after I played with Beryl a bit, for efficiency reasons.
It automatically loads a ton of little processes not unlike that evil Microsoft system, fact of the matter is however it still topples over Microshaft(let me hear a big "DUH, obviously"). when you initially install it it comes with everry thing you need modern games, full office suites tons of mediaplayers etc. though its slightly sluggish at times when you put usage to its high-tech features. I would say its not that bad.
the annoying thing but easily worked around is the little bugs with its gui portage System "kuroo" it does not display much info of what it is doing when you click sync portage so obviosly since its a Gentoo Based System I just do this:
su
emerge --sync
emerge portage
there are well into 200,000 packages to install including full versions of Doom3, Americas Army and Quake 1-4. Sounds spectacular right? well it definitely is unless they havent been tested on AMD64 thus leaving them in portage with no option to play them. I found a percentage of packages I could use on x64 however the Majority are only available on x86 and by Majority I mean 97%. I found it frustrating that frozen bubble wasnt available to me argh. ohwell I guess thats the price I pay for Hi-Tech gadgets, Ill just use good ol source or command-line emerge.
Overall I do like the system, just need little workarounds that require a more advanced knowledge of Linux. and not minding tedious konsole compiling, which should be linux basics but not for most except for us Linux junkies, LOL.
