You want to switch to Sabayon? Do it! Linux Kernel 2.6.23.12 featuring extended wireless and laptop support, Ext4, UnionFS and AUFS support Both architectures are now based on GCC 4.2 and Python 2.5 x86 architecture has been completely recompiled with i686 optimizations X.Org 7.3 release featuring NVIDIA 169.07 and AMD 8.42.3 (see known issues below for the latter) Enhanced Desktop featuring Compiz Fusion 0.6.2 using AIGLX (on by default where available) Gaming!

Known issues: Elisa Media Center is known to not work AMD video drivers hang during the first X session startup (known issue and latest drivers didn't work at all with X.Org 7.3) To workaround this, just press F5 at the boot menu and write "noaccelmanager" then press Enter or just try to boot without fglrx drivers, writing "noproprietary" Update the installer before starting an Upgrade (only for this) - tarinfo Python module didn't work well with aspell-* packages, it's been already workarounded in Entropy SVN repository. The updated installer will just take care of this without crashing. UnionFS 2.1.11 causes system freezes with 2.6.23 kernels, that's why we switched to AUFS, be advised.
