message: There is no specific build for Mac Mini, at least that I can find on the site. Does anybody have some evidence, or should it be removed? 24.211.230.92 15:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Somebody probably got the idea that there's a Mac Mini version from the mini version of SabayonLinux available for x86 and x86_64.  I'm fairly certain that there is no Mac Mini version, so I'm removing the part that mentions it. Chickencha 02:42, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Isn't Sabayon just an overlay to Gentoo? I mean - I believe that you can install Gentoo and add sabayon overlay and get the same effect as installing Sabayon from DVD. I'm not 100% sure but I strongly believe that Sabayon is a pre-configured Gentoo (Something like Kubuntu, Ubuntu and so on, one system, different packages on start). If I'm not wrong, then it is quite an important thing and should be added to the article. Aaron LoveP 22:03, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that the kernels between the two are different. Sabayon probably compiles it's own kernel because it focuses on everything working hardware-wise out-of-the-box. I don't think Gentoo has that same focus. But as I have not used Gentoo, I might be incorrect. Aroni125 (talk) 00:45, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Why should you use Sabayon? From the official site I get the impression that you should use it because it looks cool. Is there another reason? 84.59.117.191 21:09, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is as configurable as gentoo with easy install and option to use binary packages instead of compiling from source - combines configurability and usability. 89.171.49.148 14:18, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

text: It is easier to use because certain hardware components that do not work in other distributions work under Sabayon by default because of its focus on out-of-the-box compatibility. Aroni125 (talk) 00:49, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm requesting that this article not be deleted, merged, or redirected on the grounds that this article can be improved to meet the notability guidelines.  It's becoming a popular distro and more than just an overlay.  I'll try to spend a bit of time on ensuring this article meets the notability guidelines soon when I get the chance.

replies: text: I don't have the expertise (yet) to contribute much here, but I agree with Bradkoch2007 that Sabayon is notable, as are all relatively popular linux distros. This article clearly needs work, but I don't favor deletion0nullbinary0 (talk) 02:36, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

text: I agree that the article now (version Nov-08) have no problem on notability. The introduction is right to describe Sabayon is an active Linux distribution. I think the notability notice should be removed.--Kittyhawk2 (talk) 05:52, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

text: The article still does not meet the General Notability Guideline, specifically with the sources being all mostly primary sources. We need to use secondary sources so that the GNG can be satisfied. But I agree with Bradkoch2007, deletion is inappropriate for this article because it has secondary sources not yet in this article that can be used. My search turned up a number of articles on Sabayon Linux... and Sabayon Brulee (Search term: Sabayon). I do not see any other problem with this article meeting this guideline, however. 75.30.85.42 (talk) 14:03, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Notability 

message: I have rewritten the install section to be more informative as well as stripping out some obvious or pointless statements.  Here is the previous content for reference purposes.
Although the distribution is a LiveDVD (or in the case of the miniEdition, a LiveCD), installation to hard disk can be initiated once the system is fully booted. Sabayon Linux uses the Anaconda installer. In previous releases, the Gentoo Linux Installer was used. The install process is designed to be simpler than a typical Gentoo install, which requires more extensive knowledge of the operating system (particularly for the compilation of the Linux kernel). Several options are offered before booting off the DVD, like launching games directly after the process or browsing the Internet anonymously. A feature included is a program which plays music during the boot process.
Be my guest to modify the current section (or the entire page) as you see fit.  After all, it is Wikipedia.  Also, note that the DVD features were intentionally left out as they are unrelated to the Installation process.  If we wanted to start a LiveDisto section then that would be a more appropriate place to put that information. Bradkoch2007 (talk) 19:36, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Installation Section 

message: LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) can also be installed via Entropy (specifically, package lxde-base\lxde-meta). Should that be added to this section with the other window managers? It could be turned into a list, including yet more WMs, such as Ratpoison (package x11-wm\ratpoison) Aroni125 (talk) 23:17, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
