Sabayon Linux is said to be "derived" from Gentoo. Yet, reading reviews of Sabayon (from www.distrowatch.org), I fail to see any similarity between G and S; S is a binary distribution, doesn't have portage, and doesn't look like having much flexibility. Purely out of curiosity, what is the nature of this "derivation"? -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
