sabayon

I downloaded Sabayon 9 KDE today. I used UNetbootin to put it on a 4 GB flash drive, then booted into a live session on the Compaq Presario CQ56-219WM notebook.

My immediate impression? Best-looking default KDE desktop I've seen so far.

Sabayon 9 comes with KDE 4.8.3. LibreOffice 3.5.3.2, and Chromium 19.0.1.084.46 (0).

I've been reading mostly good things about this Gentoo-based distro, but this is the first time I've taken a look at it. DistroWatch has a nice review on it this week, and you can find a couple of other reviews at LinuxUser and Muktware.

Looking forward to trying an installation!
