Sabayon Linux 19.03 releases: powerful Gentoo Linux system
Sabayon is a self-starting DVD that is designed to allow a computer to enter a powerful Gentoo Linux system in less than five minutes. Gentoo Linux is a Linux distribution, which is driven by the software installation management engine Portage. In addition to being used as a self-starting DVD, Sabayon Linux can also be installed on a hard drive, actually equivalent to an easy-to-use Gentoo installation disk. The self-starting running DVD contains a large number of desktop environments and open source applications such as KDE, GNOME, Xfce, Fluxbox, LibreOffice, FreeNX, Amarok, Kaffeine and so on.
