Why Aren’t All Linux Live CDs Customizable?
,----[ Quote ]
| Yes, Linux is an operating system that I do recommend to people at times. I
| don’t use Linux as my operating system, but I do have several Linux live CDs.
| A live CD is one that is started as an ISO file that you download, burn it to
| a CD, pop it into your drive and reboot. Your computer will run Linux from
| memory, without writing it to your hard drive. There are even ways that you
| can put a Linux distro on a flash drive, which is nice. I can carry it around
| with me, along with some diagnostic tools. This way, if I am working on a
| machine that won’t boot into Windows, I can open it up with Linux.

|
| You can even choose your default wallpaper(s), including your username, and
| including the volume at which the controller is set on boot. It’s very easy
| to create one of these, and absolutely free. If you choose to create
| a ‘custom’ CD, you choose what categories you want included… and then choose
| the software! Add what you want, and know you’ll use. Leave the rest alone.
| How cool is it to finally be able to choose what YOU want and need?

The Swiss Army Distro - Might Someone Finally Be Getting It?

| And before anyone thinks that's impossible, look at Sabayon. It's already
| doing that. It's current version 3.5 offers you four major window managers
| (KDE, Gnome, XFCE and Fluxbox), a specialized EeePC install, and a Gui-less
| install for server uses. If they can do it, why can't Ubuntu? The only
| answer would have to be developer egos and selfish elitism. The FOSS spirit
| is about community, not who's better than who. If one person likes KDE, and
| another likes Gnome, then so be it. But let the end user choose! It should
| be the developers job to give all the options and leave it up to the end user
| to decid which they want.

Entropy - a new package management toolkit for Sabayon Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| While the development of the next stable version is indeed proceeding at a
| slower pace than it used to, much behind-the-scenes code, intended to make
| the upcoming release of Sabayon Linux stand out from the crowd, continues to
| be written daily. One of these little subprojects is Entropy, a new package
| management toolkit for Sabayon Linux.
|
| Entropy is described as a package management system that combines the best of
| Portage, Yum and APT to provide a fast, intuitive and trouble-free solution
| for Sabayon Linux users. It consists of several tools. The text-mode client
| called "Equo" was already available in a previous Sabayon Linux release, but
| the graphical client called "Spritz" is expected to make its first appearance
| only in version 3.5. Other tools that make up the Entropy kit
| include "Reagent" and "Activator", which are server applications.

Sabayon Linux 3.4 review
,----[ Quote ]
| Sabayon is one distribution that can give all major distributions a run for
| their money and it is almost there as well. The power of open source can not
| be felt with binary distribution packages, the real power comes with custom
| compilation, and an environment that provides an easy way to do the same.
| Sabayon is the kind of environment that one should be looking at if s/he
| wants to harnass the true power.
|
| Hope that sabayon mantains its right track and iron out the rough corners so
| that we can rely on a really briliant star.
