The latest version of Gentoo based SaboyanLinux, version 3.26 x86-64 has been released.

What makes Sabayon differs from any other Gentoo distro is that the initial install is made using pre-compiled binary packages, instead of installing the entire operating system from the source code.

The distribution is currently available for x86 and x86-64 platforms. Sabayon uses the Portage system from Gentoo for package management, meaning that all updates are inline with Gentoo’s portage tree.

The Saboyan DVD is a Live disk, meaning it can be booted and run off the disc without installation. But once fully booted, it can also be installed on the hard disk.

Sabayon Linux includes many up-to-date features for the demanding user. Currently AIGLX, XGL, and Beryl are on the optical disk and can be turned on from the isolinux boot prompt.

SaboyanLinux 3.26 can be downloaded from the Linux Tracker.
