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.

Another nice addition to Ubuntu as well:
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Gets An XRandR GUI
,----[ Quote ]
| A week ago, Canonical's Bryce Harrington had pushed an XRandR GUI into Ubuntu
| 8.04 LTS, which can now be found inside Alpha 6. This utility facilitates the
| dynamic management of displays using the RandR 1.2 extension, which is
| similar to URandR, GRandR, and other RandR front-ends. This new package has
| caught our attention and led us to explore its capabilities for display
| management.

Review: Sabayon Linux 3.4a
,----[ Quote ]
| Sabayon Linux is a distribution that has nearly everything for everyone in
| one nice, neat little package. Well, I can hardly call it small, given that
| it expands to over 9.5 gig once installed. Overall, the hardware support is
| quite good as well. In fact, it’s really good.

Sabayon Linux: Something for everyone

| If you've tried Sabayon in the past and found it lacking, give this version a
| try. I'm glad I can finally give this derivative of my favorite distro a
| thumbs-up. I just may continue using Sabayon as my main operating system.

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.

| I first tried Sabayon Linux in the 3.2 edition and I was plesantly surprised.
| It found my wireless card, worked well with everything on my box, but it had
| a few kinks and oddities that they seem to have worked out.
