We use THIS distro in our own office.
It's THAT good!

Most Linux distros run the gambit from bare-bones "Skoda"-type distros that are entirely utilitarian, and geared for use as basic firewall-routers and fileservers, to the metaphorical Hondas and Cadillacs that are meant to be more streamlined, hardier, and more full-featured.

Sabayon is the "Lamborghini" of the modern desktop world. 

It is, hands down, by far, the most visual, beautiful, and functionally advanced desktop you can get your hands on. For once, Windows is playing catch-up with Linux!

Sabayon is the most "bleeding edge" Linux distro out there! Sabayon is one of the new, it's fast, it's complete, versatile and oh, so sleek.

Note: In order to take full advantage, you should have a decent video card that has 3D accelleration.

Sabayon is the only Linux distro that includes the very latest proprietary drivers for both ATI and nVidia graphics cards!

I've been a professional consultant for 15 years, and using Linux since 1993, and in all that time, I've never seen a Linux distro that's capable of the hardware (and especially video) detection and support that Sabayon is!

Sabayon is the official Compiz Fusion Linux distro

Sabayon is the only Live Linux distro that allows you to try out the new Compiz Fusion interface before you even install Sabayon to your hard drive. That's because a Sabayon Live Linux DVD can be run directly from the DVD drive, without even being installed. If you love it like we know you will, you can install it to your hard drive at any time. Sabayon lets you install Compiz Fusion with no hassles, no downloads, no headaches, RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX! 

Compiz Fusion is the merger between the legendary Compiz and Beryl 3D desktops. Now the power, functionality, and incredible power of both desktop interfaces are available in one single unit. This is eye candy to the extreme! 

The new Compiz Fusion engine is DOMINATING the 3D windows interface market! 

Compiz Fusion is, without any exaggeration, like something out of Star Trek. It's easily the most advanced OS anywhere in the world today, including OSX and Vista!

Sabayon is also the first and only Gentoo-powered variant of Linux, and sports an incredibly comfortable look and feel that's definitely 21st century. Incredible power, flexibility and stability are all hallmarks of this operating system.

What On Earth Is Compiz Fusion?

Compiz Fusion is the re-merging of the Compiz and Beryl desktop environments, and is, quite simply, the newest, most advanced 3-D desktop interface in the world.

It takes the graphical interface to the next level, allowing users to zoom in and out of their desktop, preview thumbnails of their apps by passing the mouse over their start menu icons, manage multiple virtual desktops by rotating a 3-D cube that shows exactly what's running on each of them, realtime, and way, way more. This is the kind of technology that, until now, you've only seen in Sci-Fi movies, and now it can be YOURS!

Your friends will drool over your computer. You'll be the envy of every Mac and Windows user you know. Don't forget to send them to us when they ask you where they can get a copy! We've got the very latest release of this operating system, and so far, we're the only ones distributing it!

Want to see Compiz Fusion in action?


A 5 minute YouTube video of Compiz Fusion. This video gets a bit repetitive in places, but it's worth 5 minutes of your time to see the whole thing, believe me!



Here's another short video that you might like, which shows off the ability to run a movie as your wallpaper while you're working in other applications!

No Sabayon videos are on YouTube yet (oddly, since it's the official distro of Compiz Fusion), but this will give you the general idea. There's no difference in function. The only difference is that Sabayon installs it automatically, and with all other distros you have to install it yourself.

This Must Take One Powerful Machine! Can I Run Compiz Fusion on My OLD Computer??

The Compiz Fusion desktop takes surprisingly little resources!

Above, you can see a video of Compiz Fusion running on a Pentium 3 733mhz, 128MB RAM, GeForce 2 MX 400 32MB AGP 4X computer! Basically, running on a very old system with no real power at all. It shows the cube, zoom and a few other effects, taking almost no system resources, even at peak performance.

Sure It Looks Great, But How Hard Is It To Use?

Sabayon is incredibly simple for new users, but can be modified to be as complex as you like, thanks to the package managers and core engine it is built upon. Sabayon uses RedHat's Anaconda Package Manager alongside Gentoo's Portage core engine to produce a highly powerful, highly adaptable, and highly user-friendly version of Gentoo that has it's own distinct flavor.

The interface runs much like Windows XP, and all the Compiz Fusion effects and bonuses are layered on top with easily configurable keypress/mouse combinations. Heck, you can even run Compiz Fusion with a touchscreen, touchpad or Nintendo Wii interface! It's intuitive and simple, despite its incredible power!

Sabayon averts 64-bit pitfalls by running 32-bit apps where full 64-bit support is dodgy. Reviews indicate that Sabayon's 64-bit Linux OS is one of the most, if not the most, stable distros out there.

Sabayon comes highly recommended from sources such as Techgage, Linux Fanatic, and Linux Tech Daily, where it received a five-star review from all of them.
 

What About Web Browsing and Multimedia?

According to Linux Tech Daily's reviewer: "I use the 64 bit version, Sabayon installs 32 bit versions of packages that have trouble running in 64 bits or are unavailable. That means you get Adobe’s Flashplayer for your browser. Mplayer uses 64 bit Realplayer for its codecs, so they are truly 64 bit. I have run into no problems or slowdowns. Everything runs seamlessly, whether it is using 64bit or 32bit libs. All of my multimedia needs are met with Sabayon."

That's a huge deal to most users, who's primary interests are (1) a stable, familiar desktop, (2) MS Office compatibility, and (3) gaming and multimedia.


What About My Word, Excel and Powerpoint Documents?

As with nearly all modern Linux distros, Sabayon includes the complete OpenOffice 2.2 Suite, which is 100% MS Office and WordPerfect compatible. You can import and export files in their native formats that your friends who still haven't switched away from Windows will have no problem receiving and reading!

OpenOffice Writer - An Easy Migration From MS Word!

With it's standardized interface, you'll find migration to OpenOffice quick and easy, since anyone who's familiar with the Office and WordPerfect equivalents will immediately notice the similarities between suites. 
 
What About Support?

Since Sabayon is built to be 100% Gentoo-compliant, all the extensive documentation and support that has been applied to Gentoo is fully applicable to Sabayon. That means you have one of the most complete technical support databases available at your fingertips!

Is This a 32-Bit or 64-bit Linux Distro?

Both. This is the hottest stuff out there, so We carry BOTH the 32-bit DVD and the 64-bit DVD. To make sure you get the right OS, please let us know if you need a 64-bit disk. By default we ship a 32-bit DVD, as it will install and run perfectly on both 32-bit and 64-bit machines. I absolutely do NOT want you to be disappointed by accidentally ordering the wrong thing!
