Be sure it really do.

People often ask for things I've already reviewed, I'm sure I can make it easier to see what's been done and what hasn't. Thanks for reading, I'm really glad if you get something useful out of the articles and discussions around them. There are plenty of commenters who probably know more than I do. It all adds to the overall experience I hope :) @acidtoy – I’ve reviewed loads of things over the last couple of years and I think perhaps a proper index page listing all reviews on the site would be useful.

You write well and because of that the wealth of comments around your articles make them a lot richer than other reviews out there. Thanks to this very article anyone can get a useful insider about Sabayon -thanks to your review and the comments of your readers- and while nothing can replace personal experience like installing and trying it for yourserlf, it gets a long way ahead. Congratz! I'll go too with the review of Arch, StormOS, Gentoo and general source-based distros. I'm on board too for OpenSolaris and every other desktop OS you may think it could be useful; I now I'm asking *a bit* too much but hey! Asking is free xD Last but no least I keep with this phrase which I liked most: "it reminds me a little of those awful rave tracks you used to get on Warez installers years ago. Not that I would know about that of course *ahem*"... AHEEMMMM!! xDDD Cheers Great article but greater because of the debate around it.

I'm also on board with the view of Arch. I would LOVE to use it, as it sounds incredibly interesting, and right up my alley as a tinkerer and such...but the time is very lacking to set up such a system. The same reason I probably won't get around to checking out gentoo. maybe once the kids are in school though...

There are plenty of distros which should support your hardware and be very stable, Debian springs to mind of course. I like that there's so much choice in Free Software. There's something for everyone. Thanks for reading. erez – I like a pretty stable system too and I know what you mean.

Each had its own bag. I loved Sabayon slick desktop & toolset, but the first few (3.1 & 3.2?) were not able to detect my HW and didn't fully install. Recent variants (late 3.x, early 4.0) installed, but due to their Gentoo heritage, soon became unstable. I can't live with hung or crashing system. I'm installing a new machine now, and probably give 4.1 a spin. But my expectations are I'll revert to Fedora, or maybe even CAOS. I maybe "old fashion", but I yearn for the old times where my Linux boxes would run for months on end w/o a crash (of course, the variety of both HW and SW was much much smaller). Ok, nuf lamenting :) z After installing, [and mostly also re-installing], over 50 Unix variants over the last year plus, I still do not have a favourite flavour… Each had its own bag.
