Sabayon Linux 5.0

Being a Sabayon user myself, I figured Sabayon 5.0 (KDE) would be a great distro to kick off my new review site. I already have the .iso downloaded and everything (although I will have to install again for my review). Before we begin, let's see what the Sabayon developers have to say-

Distribution Features (based on Entropy Branch 5):

• Less than 2GB size (1.6GB for Sabayon5 GNOME x86)
• Based on new GCC 4.4.1 and Glibc 2.10
• Shipped with Desktop-optimized Linux kernel 2.6.31
• Providing extra Server-optimized and OpenVZ-enabled kernels in repositories
• Installer now available in multiple languages
• Complete Ext4 filesystem support (used by default)
• Complete Encrypted filesystems support (via dmcrypt, available in the Installer)
• Featuring X.Org 7.5 and up-to-date FLOSS, NVIDIA, AMD video drivers
• Containing GNOME 2.26 (2.28 ready) and KDE 4.3.1
• Outstanding 3D Desktop applications (Compiz, Compiz Fusion and KWin) working out of the box

• Shipped with OpenOffice 3.1 productivity suite, Multimedia applications
• Transform Sabayon into an full-featured HTPC Operating System (Media Center) using XBMC
• Shipped with World of Goo Demo - best 2D game ever!
• Sexiest Skin ever! (Ian Whyman rocks)
• Ready for Sabayon 6 (someday!)

This might all sound exciting , but can your computer handle it?

Requirements
Minimum requirements:
- an i686-compatible Processor (Intel Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Celeron, AMD K6-2, Athlon)
- 512Mb RAM
- 9 GB of free space
- A X.Org supported 2D GPU
- a DVD reader
Optimal requirements:
- a Dual Core Processor (Intel Core 2 Duo or better, AMD Athlon 64 X2 or better)
- 1024Mb RAM
- 20 GB of free space
- A X.Org supported 3D GPU (Intel, AMD, NVIDIA) (esp. for XBMC)
- a DVD reader

From the looks of this, Sabayon should install on most modern computers, but good luck getting it to run on the 128mb ram, 5gb hard drive dinosaur in your basement.
