Sabayon
This distro is available as a Live DVD and, according to the developer,
can be installed in less than five minutes. Sabayon can also be
installed right onto a hard disk for permanent use on a desktop PC.
Applications include: GNOME, KDE, KOffice, Open Office.org, Kaffeine,
and several games. If you want still more apps then use Portage, Sabayon's package management system, to add more.
Sabayon Linux is an operating system powered by the Linux kernel and GNU. There are many Linux flavors, but most geeks just call them distributions. We are a Linux distribution, though, and try to provide our users the best and most complete computing experience.
Our philosophy follows two simple statements:
A) OOTB (out of the box) Functionalities: There should be no problems and everything should "just work."
B) KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid!
Moreover, to achieve this, Sabayon Linux uses Gentoo Linux as its base. It is (and always will be) 100% compatible with it. We are one of the most scalable distributions and are happy to support everyone from the most creative kernel hacker to the newbie. How? Because of point A above, and because Gentoo Linux is THE most extensible Linux distribution, no one can say anything to the contrary.
- It is NOT a binary-only distribution. Yes, you can
install Sabayon Linux in half an hour and have a powerful desktop under
your hands. But, our current policy does not support the idea to fork
Gentoo Linux package management because users don't like to waste time
compiling. We have a clear idea; if you don't want to compile a lot of
packages just wait for the next release, because you always be able to:
- Update your current installation to the latest Sabayon Linux by running the Sabayon Linux installer and choosing the Upgrade option
- Keep up to date, Sabayon Linux release cycles are very, very short. If you just want to keep your PC secure, just use the glsa-check utility.
- It is NOT developed with politics in mind. This means that if we like an application over another, it's just because it could work better and be closer to our OOTB philosophy described above.
- It is NOT company-driven. We have always been users, and then developers. That's our power and our view. We only want something that works without Microsoft and their superficial operating system implementation!
- It is NOT Ubuntu! We don't try to mimic any other distribution, we just take the best from each one.
