基于Gentoo的发行版：SabayonLinux 3.26

Sabayon是一份自启动运行DVD，它被设计为能在5分钟以内使一台电脑进入强大的Gentoo Linux系统。Gentoo Linux是一份Linux发行，它由软件安装管理引擎Portage来驱动。除了作为自启动运行DVD使用，Sabayon Linux也能安装到硬盘上，实际上相当于一张易于使用的Gentoo安装盘。该自启动运行DVD包含了大量的桌面环境及开源应用软件，例如KDE、GNOME、XFce、Fluxbox、KOffice、OpenOffice.org、FreeNX、amaroK、Kaffeine等等。

A new version of SabayonLinux, with a number of bug fixes and feature updates, has been released. Some of the main changes include: "Linux kernel 2.6.19 with sata_promise driver now supports PATA connectors too; NdisWrapper updated to 1.34rc2; KVM now is detected and works out of the box on VT-enabled CPUs; KDE Print control panel now works; AbiWord updated to 2.4.6; Democracy Player updated to 0.9.2.1; Amarok now works; ALSA updated to 1.0.14rc1; Flash Player updated to 9.0.21.78; installer: multi-user configuration now works; highly improved boot time by triggering doslowusb only when really needed; OpenGL auto-configuration now takes half of the time to configure video card...

January 7th, 2007 - The Internet:

"Sabayon is an Italian dessert made with egg yolks, sugar, a sweet liquor (usually Marsala wine), and sometimes cream or whole eggs. It is a very light custard, which has been whipped to incorporate a large amount of air." Source: Wikipedia.

Today we release the last bugfix release of the 3.2 branch of Sabayon Linux x86 and x86-64 before heading back into 3.3 development. As I said, this is mostly a bugfix release and here below you can find the changes.

[BF] means bugfix, [F] means feature:



[BF] Linux kernel 2.6.19 with:

--> sata_promise driver now supports PATA connectors too

--> ata_mpiix and pata_oldmpiix updates (this should hopefully fix kernel panics with Intel boards)

--> pata_sis updates (same as above)

[BF] Ndiswrapper updated to 1.34rc2

[BF] KVM now is detected and works out of the box on VT-enabled CPUs

[BF] KDE Print Control Panel now works

[BF] bcm43xx firmwares have been updated

[BF] nvidia-legacy-drivers now triggers correctly (still experimental)

[F] Abiword has been updated to 2.4.6

[F] Democracy Player has been updated to 0.9.2.1

[BF] Amarok now works

[F] ALSA updated to 1.0.14rc1

[F] Flash Player updated to 9.0.21.78

[F] XGL updated to 0.0.1_pre20061108

[BF] Installer: multi user configuration now works

[BF] Installer: doslowusb is now triggered correctly

[BF] Installer: libata migration tool now should solve most of the issues automatically

[F] Highly improved boot time by triggering doslowusb only when really needed, this allows to save 30 seconds during the Live boot process when there isn't any usb-storage device connected

[F] OpenGL autoconfiguration now takes half of the time to autoconfigure your video card and in case of Open Source drivers it takes no time at all

[F] OpenGL autoconfiguration now detects Radeon <9000 cards with much more accuracy

[F/B] NoMachine NX Server Free Edition has now the proper licence key and the startup is a lot faster



The SL team would like to thank you all for your astonishing feedback and helping us make this distro better.

还有什么特色吗？当gentoo不能自己随心所欲定制的时候，那他和其它的发行版有还有什么区别？一个产品想要让客户接受，就要创新，就要与众不同，简单的模仿是不行的。

愚见，欢迎批评指正。

不可否认用gentoo做发行版也未尝不可，gentoo本身还是参照过freebsd写出来的~

这个发行版里面提供的东西蛮多的，适合我这类的懒人。
