Oops – I missed those. That’s why it’s handy to include the basic info in each review (links are cheap – don’t be afraid to use more).

“Refuse” is not the word. It’s more like neglected. Please note that every distro reviewed here is under one of the categories in the sidebar. But thank’s for pointing that out.

Why do some reviewers refuse to include a link to the topic’s home page? Sure, google will show me the way, but why not just include it in the review?

[...] Sabayon Linux 4.2 KDE Review Sabayon is a Gentoo Linux-based, multi-purpose distribution. Previous releases of Sabayon came in one huge DVD iso image with the option to install your favorite desktop.

The only apps I can see under multimedia are Amarok, Juk, XBMC, KMix, Kdenlive, and Dragon Player. No K3b.

Good call on the firewall , but Pardus could use a decent network setup of it’s own.They could both use improvements in their package managers – they are a far cry short of synaptic. K3B is under multimedia in my Sabayon 4.2 desktop. The only two real problems I’ve had with Sabayon were when sulfur replaced Spritz, but the update failed and I had to search for a command line fix. The other was changing my default user’s password with Kuser and Kuser wiping out the password. Again some searching and luck fixed the problem. Very nasty and needless little bugs, but the system runs like a top now.
