Hello Folks, recently i was navigating on YouTube and found this (at least for me) awesome video of Sabayon Linux running with xGL in a HDTV at high resolution... Well i know that someones don't care for pretty effects but look at the CPU load average (it'll show at video)..... I tested the x86-64 on my computer here and its really light....

The Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpVY43j2PQ8
The Distro: http://www.sabayonlinux.org/

One interesting thing, Sabayon is Gentoo-based, so that probably explains the light-height... Take a look and comment

I've personally used it. It doesn't work with XFCE4, but it worked in Gnome. You can use it in any distribution. I tried it in Ubuntu.

On my 800mhz computer with a 32 meg graphics card, it was pretty laggy. Then again, my computer IS slow.

Maybe I'll give it a go if I ever have a fast computer. It still seems unecessary.

Sounds like an awsome distro, I had actually never heard of it before, so thanks for posting it. One question, is it gnome or KDE based?

it was just a matter of time when a decent distro is gonna be out with XGL as default... i wonder why it took so long ?

Looks very cool, also I think alot of those effects might start to annoy me pretty fast

Am I to far offtopic if i start discussing the anime he was using to demonstrate playback? I liked it... seen all 13 eps of Zero no Tsukaima =)

Anyway, thanks for the tip about the distro... I'm still pretty much only using windows, but if I ever get around to changing to linux i might have a look at this one =)
