First impressions: Sabayon Linux Four Oh! | Ruminations on the Digital Realm »
Posted By schestowitz 10 months, 2 weeks ago in Science & TechnologyTwo years ago I ran into Sabayon Linux for the first time. Version 3.2 was about to be released and I gave Sabayon a spin on my laptop. The article on my Dutch website about my experiences is still attracting a lot of readers, which indicates a consistent and growing interest in this Linux distribution. Strange enough, I wasn’ t very lucky with later releases which simply refused to be installed. Two weeks ago Sabayon Linux Four Oh! was released. How far did Sabayon progress over the last two years?
I downloaded the dvd from the newly designed Sabayon Linux website.
