| Sabayon live DVD installs a version of Gentoo |
Sep. 28, 2006
 Sabayon Linux, a live DVD that is claimed to transform a computer into a Gentoo system in less than five minutes, now has a smaller cousin: Sabayon MiniEdition, available for download as of Sept. 27.
The new release features a 2.6.18 kernel and supports both the KDE and GNOME desktop environments, the team said. MiniEdition is built on the recent release of the SabayonLinux 3.0 x86/x86-64 DVD, the Italy-based team added.
The live DVD includes a large range of desktop environments and open source software applications, such as KDE, GNOME, XFce, Fluxbox, KOffice, OpenOffice.org, FreeNX, amaroK, Kaffeine, and many others.
Besides functioning as a live DVD, Sabayon Linux can also be installed on a hard disk, acting effectively as an easy-to-use Gentoo installation disk.
New features and bug fixes since 3.0 DVD, according to the team, include: - improved AIGLX support, thanks to NVIDIA 1.0-9625 beta drivers, Beryl and Emerald pre-release
- r1000 Ethernet device support
- added VIA Technologies graphics cards automatic configuration
- ATI Drivers 8.29.6
- added Konversation 1.0
- updated Gwenview to 1.4.0
- installer: many bugs fixed and added support of AIGLX
