Sabayon Linux
Posted by: Wael Nasreddine in Linux, tags: Badge, Developer, Linux, SabayonI always love Linux, I actually never use windows, but I still have to choose a distribution, I always loved Gentoo because it’s very easy to use, besides it’s a source based… And I truly love the USE flags, You can build the packages the way you like 
I mean no offense to Gentoo whatsoever actually I thank them over and over again, but since Gentoo’s developers are always very busy, Gentoo’s default configuration is very ugly and a lot of packages are outdated, so I went looking for a distribution forked/based on Gentoo and I found it 
Sabayon is a very nice and beautiful distribution, in fact just booting the liveDVD will give you a very good feeling, the graphics are very nice, the music playing on startup ( original eh? ) is very nice too… Here’s some screenshots… So I decided to join the developers team and here I am helping as far as I can… I just love every aspect about Sabayon and if you’re reading this then do me a favor, download the ISO and try it.

Could you say that is as fast and responsive as gentoo itself?
Yes it is, and it is even better… Let me elaborate:
Sabayon use the Gentoo overlay as the main overlay but it also extends it with a new overlay “Sabayon” which is accessible via layman BTW:
layman -a sabayonSo it uses everything Gentoo use, all the configurations are the same, all the tools are the same, but it’s been extended with sabayon repo…
It’s a bit better because Sabayon also provides what they call Entropy, which is the binary alternative to emerge, let’s say you want to install ViM but you don’t have time to compile it yourself or you simply don’t want to, so all you need to do is:
equo install vim --askEasy? hein ?
