I was just perusing <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabayon_Linux>, which
seems interesting, as it uses anaconda,
<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda>, during the install.

Anyone on this list have any experience with sabayon?

It's something like 13g of pre-compiled ~x86 or ~amd64 stuff (your
choice) on a DVD. Even after install, it takes something like1 1/2
minutes to boot! Maybe that's because it uses the genkernel crap ?

"Sabayon differs from Gentoo in that instead of installing the entire
operating system from source code, the initial install is made using
pre-compiled binary packages."

How is this different from a standard Gentoo install?

I presume that the statement may refer to a stage 3 Vs a stage 1 install?

A Stage 3 is the standard Gentoo install, which seems remarkably similar
to what Sabayon is offering and nothing like what they claim Gentoo does.

Indeed.  I don't know when they started, or when that statement was penned, 
but it may have been back in the day when we were all bootstrapping our 
systems.

in all fairness, that quote is from wikipedia, not sabayon directly.
