Sabayon 3.5 Final Released

All 3.5 Release News Goes Here
Sabayon 3.5 [ Final Stable Release]

Sabayon Linux uses Gentoo's Portage system for package management, and all updates and base characteristics are in synchrony with Gentoo's portage tree and other mechanisms. So, users can follow guides and articles written for Gentoo users. But "world updates" are discouraged for beginners or those new to Gentoo, as the structure is a little different and requires a slightly different method of execution. A guide has been written by a Sabayon Linux developer on how to do global updates and recompilation of all packages.

@Mods why Bullets aren't working if I copy BB codes from another forum ?

I tried Sabayon once. I found it to be quite nice in fact. Although I thought it would be hard to use it quite the opposite.

[Pat]

Darky are you going to give it a shot ? I want to see how entropy is, compared to other package managers. That would be a make or break deal for me.

Last time I tried 3.4 its package manager sucked big time. It was too slow for my liking. Sabayon 3.5 Loop 3 dint install on my lappy. I hope this ones good enough.

[Sathish]

i have already tried sabayon Professional edition (provinded Linux For U mag.)

Good for Look and Feel..

can anyone tell about its unique package management system..?

[MetalheadGautham]

WTF ? They give Quake4 for free ?
I am downloading it tonight then.
I think Sabayon is one of the best ways to experience the rich features and stability of gentoo-linux without installing gentoo itself. Too bad sabayon does not provide gentoo-BSD for us.

[mehulved]

Well the state of gentoo-freebsd is rather bad and gentoo-openbsd is pathetic. I so hope that someday, somehow gentoo-freebsd becomes stable enough to be used. Still hats off to the limited amount of devs for their work and the kind of help they provide.

[Dark Star]

WTF ? They give Quake4 for free ?

No I think its a demo Read its written only 3 top tier game

[Charan]

Looks nice.. will download it today nite.

[infra_red_dude]

Will surely try it.. 3.4f never really worked on any of my machines. Hope this does. Don't like the blue theme tho. The darker interface was nicer.

Jealous? .. you forgot the wifi issue in the previous release which I had? And another problem was it never used to shutdown properly (live CD) .. on restart Vista used to show BSOD . I hope these issues are fixed

I dont understand why Sabayon switched theme.. it was one of the best looking distro.. now it looks like any other ..
