Sabayon is a Gentoo-based GNU/Linux distribution
created by Fabio Erculiani and the Sabayon development team.
Sabayon follows the "Out of the box" philosophy, aiming to give the user a wide number of applications ready to use and a self-configured operating system.
It is named after an Italian dessert, zabaione which is made from eggs. Sabayon's logo is an impression of a hen's foot.
Sabayon is designed to give the computer user an easy-to-use workspace with a captivating look, good hardware detection and a large number of up-to-date software packages installed by default; with additional software available from a repository.
It provides both x86 and AMD64 distributions.
The SpinBase version comes without an X server graphical interface, providing a lighter and faster base system suitable for customization.
All of the Gentoo configuration tools, such as etc-update and eselect are fully functional.
Sabayon also includes additional tools for automatic configuration of various system components such as OpenGL.
Sabayon provides proprietary video drivers for both nVidia and ATI hardware.
These are enabled if compatible hardware is found; otherwise, the default open-source drivers are used.
Because of the automatic driver configuration, the Compositing window manager Compiz Fusion and KWin are used for the GNOME and KDE editions respectively.
The discovery and configuration of network and wireless cards and webcams is similarly automatic.
Most printers are detected automatically but require specific manual configuration through the CUPS interface.
Sabayon Linux relies on two package managers.Portage is inherited from Gentoo, while Entropy was developed for Sabayon.
Portage downloads source-code and compiles it specifically for the target system, whereas Entropy manages binary files from servers.
The binary tarball packages are precompiled using the Gentoo Linux unstable tree.
Entropy clients then pull these tarballs and perform the various post- and pre-compilation calls of the Gentoo ebuild to set up a package correctly.
This means the system is completely binary-compatible with a Gentoo system using the same build configuration.
The adoption of two package managers allows expert users to access the full flexibility of the Gentoo system and others to easily and quickly manage software applications and updates.
The Entropy software features the ability of allowing users to help generate relevant content by voting and by attaching images, files and web links to a package.
