[Leaplist] Sabayon with Beryl

[ray]

ok i was able to get the DNS issue fixed, i was able to pass on a few 
arguments at the boot screen to increase the resolution to 1280x1024 and 
there is even an option to force the system to run via TOR if you are so 
inclined.

evaluation of the miniCD (LiveCD) vs. so far.

1.  it is the FASTEST liveCD i have ever run.  so fast that you tend to 
forget you are running off of a CD instead of the HDD.

2.  even though a lot of the purest out there will not like this I LOVE 
IT.  the 3rd party drivers are INSTALLED for you like your ATI or Nvidia 
drivers.  for me it is the Nvidia drivers, they are there and just 
WORK.  very nice.

3.  Beryl = OMG this GUI on top of KDE is so fast, so light years ahead 
of anything Vista offers and it just works.  very easy to configure, 
light on the hardware and zero system lag even off of the liveCD.

4.  it is missing some basics like vi and vim are missing, but you do 
have nano.  i just am used to vi/vim  meh just me.

5.  to fix my DNS issue i just had to log in as root (switch to one of 
the root terminals) and run net-setup and put in the information for my 
LAN and i was golden.

6.  i only used konquorer so i do not know how well FF will play with 
it, but knoq, was fast enough for me.  no flash or shockwave installed, 
but for a liveCD that is ok.

if you are looking to play around with a really powerful GUI i highly 
recommend this distro.  try the LiveCD, or burn the full DVD and install 
it.  very nice.  i have not tried to install it yet so no clue as to how 
easy/hard this will be.  I plan on trying to install it this weekend if 
i get the floor down in the kitchen soon enough.

enjoy.
