Destructive Incorporated

It's been a long time since I gave Sabayon Linux 3.1 such a rave review. A lot has changed in that time. The distribution is still based on the ~arch branch of Gentoo Linux, the biggest addition is the new binary package manager "entropy" and its front-ends: spritz (X) and equo (CLI). One of my favorite things about gentoo is the source-based nature of the distribution; you can always just rebuild everything from source with a couple commands in the console.

This Gentoo-based distro is going to be one to watch. Rock-solid stability and endless flexibility, all wrapped into a 3.3GB LiveDVD environment packed to the brim with the latest builds of the latest software. So then, what makes Sabayon Linux so special? I'm glad you asked.

The strength of this OS comes not only from the abundance of current software available, but also from its roots in Gentoo Linux, which has long been known for its adaptability and pure speed. Gentoo's portage houses thousands (tens of thousands?) of programs which can be installed, via source, using every setting specified in make.conf, using build options depending on my USE flags. Dependencies are all resolved automatically by emerge (best thing since sliced bread). Boot scripts are easily modified with rc-update (so far my favorite runlevel modification tool). System updates (Sabayon follows the ~arch branch) can be made as easily as 'emerge –sync && emerge -uvDNa world' followed by 'etc-update' which will keep my install up to date with the latest security patches, bug fixes, and killer new features. There are hundreds of Gentoo reviews online and anything more in-depth goes beyond the scope of this article. Sabayon provides a very capable "livecd" environment with tons of the newest software all pre-installed to accomplish work fast. If work isn't your thing you can always kick back and play a little Cold War, or Quake 4 as both

As obesity continues to plague the US and video games continue to be a favorite past time, one company seems to have found the perfect compliment for video games to help solve the 'epidemic'. The solution: combine your favorite video game with a bit of exercise.

While there are some great games that combine exercise with gaming like DDR and Pump It Up, and there are even a couple of other fitness game controllers (like the Kilowatt), none of them seem to be quite the ticket for exercise success among most gamers.

This was really damn funny today.
