I tried the sabayon live mini-cd after I heard about it at the last
MLUG. my home setup relies on boot cds as I have not replaced a crashed
HD yet (it went down some months ago, and my second disk is LVMed, and
i'm afraid to resize it) and at work i'm limted to using linux in
vmware or on a server I have no physical access to.
I have promised myself that as soon as I get a new PC I'll install
Sabayon, just for kicks. If I get around to doing it i'll tell you how
it goes.
BTW does anyone know how linux friendly (or not) ASROCK AMD MBs are
(espesially the ones with VSTA in their model number?)

I tried Beryl too and ran it for a couple of months.
However, I found out that it slowed down my compile times. Its probably
due to some excessive polling of IRQs or excessive traffic on the AGP
bus. I just know that my compile times went up by 2X. I still have it
installed and use it occasionally when I am not doing anything which is
resource intensive.
I find some things to improve my efficiency of doing things via a GUI.
I do not keep too much bling switched on. Just a waste of GPU cycles.

Hello James,
I tried compiz :) played around and enjoyed. But practically it slows
down my
working place, so I switched back to normal desktop (kde or xfce4) at
work
and home. Same on my laptop, I need efficient performance, not 3D tools.
Personally I prefer desktop environment to text console. But latest was
a
good start about 10 years ago, and still remains on the servers.
Most popular programs I use: kontact, konsole, vim, kate, make, gaim and
firefox/epiphany.
Gregory
