The main difference between Gentoo and Sabayon linux distros? Answer is Entropy. Entropy is the package management software from Sabayon which deals with the sbayon repository. This repository is much stable than the normal Gentoo repository and with Entropy, installations are pretty straight forward. Some installations, that failed for me on Gentoo worked on Sabayon and i am very happy with the default XFCE desktop that comes with Sabayon.
Other difference is the philosophy with which Sabayon is built. Sabayon is a linux flavor which has not compromised on the unix features with the addition of a nice desktop management system (for which linux originally became famous). Good thing about Sabayon is that most of the stuff just works out of the box. This list includes mp3s to youtube flash videos. They have chosen the must to have and packaged it so that you dont have to install them when you get stuck.
Overall, i liked Sabayon for what it is..and what it does..! an overall good linux experience for a serious user.
