                                                                            Facts:

                                                                            • Sabayon borrows aspects from several distros

                                                                            • A little slow to load
                                                                            • Nothing aside from appearance really wow-ed me

                                                                            Summary
                                                                            :
                                                                            The best thing about Sabayon Linux is the "wow, it's pretty" factor. This distro is just beautiful. Overall, it seems a very easy to use distro and while nothing really stood out for me aside from its appearance, I still think it's a very nice and respectable distro. I give it an A+ for appearance and a B+/A- for use.
