Sabayon Linux 6

Foi lançado recentemente o Sabayon Linux 6, é um projeto totalmente baseado no Gentoo. Um sistema operacional de alto nível, com tota flexibilidade que o Gentoo tem porém com um toque a mais de user-friendly.

O fino dele é a preservação do Gnome 2.32 como plataforma gráfica (ambiente X). KDE 4.6.4 também está como alternativa para os usuários.
O kernel usado é 2.6.39.1, o btrfs está nativo no núcleo do sistema e sua parte de artwork e music boot splash foram mudados.

Press Release: Sabayon Linux 6 GNOME and KDE

We’re once again here to announce the immediate availability of Sabayon 6, one of the biggest milestone in our project.
Letting bleeding edge and reliability to coexist is the most outstanding challenge our users, our team, is faced every day.
There you have it, shining at full bright, for your home computer, your laptop and your home servers.
Because we do care about our community, we do listen to our users, we consider them part of the game, we decided to leave GNOME3 out for another, last, release cycle, in order let things to settle down: providing a broken user experience has never been in our plans.
Besides, what do we have under the hood this round? Let’s go ahead and see.
