Sabayon 4 r1 64bit

I just installed Sabayon 4 r1 64bit on our laptops here at home. I like it. It has some very cool features. For one it uses the Compiz Fusion Windows Manager. Compiz Fusion is a combination of Beryl and Compiz. The desktop can be rotated and viewed as a cube. It came with Open Office 3.0, FileZilla, a Chat Program compatible with Yahoo! messenger (and several other chat programs I might add), and some web development tools. I installed Opera so I have about 90% of the things I used in Windows over here in Linux-land.

Some of the things I couldn't get to work are:

1. Google Earth. I have an Intel based chipset and something appears to be wrong with the driver.
2. The 3-D games in the bundle. Again, I suspect the video driver.
3. The HDMI output doesn't work.
4. I haven't figured out how to get my windows to burn up in flames when minimized. I have set this up in the options, but no dice.
5. I can't get the rain drop on the desktop effect to work.
6. My 54Mbps wireless network card is only running at 1Mbps.

Aside from these few things, everything runs great. Even with the degraded performance of my network card, my download speeds are about 10% faster--330Mbps in Windows Vista 64 compared to 400Mpbs here in Linux-land. Although I can't switch over to Linux for 100% of my computer usage, I can dual boot and use Sabayon for my Internet use.

My dad had tickets to the OKC Thunder game and it was great. The best play of the night made the highlights...


Looks like the Thunder are playing more like a team now. What teamwork!
