Hold your horses. I have used Sabayon many times before, but a pretty serious problem has developed that makes this distro difficult to continue to use.

Sabayon has joined forces with Funtoo Linux, and since then a number of important things in Sabayon no longer work. Sabayon is based on Gentoo, and to install Google-chrome (as an example) you would normally enter this as superuser: emerge google-chrome

Well, that doesn't work anymore. "emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "google-chrome".

It used to work. Honest.

What I think is happening is that Sabayon is being neglected because everybody's working on Funtoo.

I'd steer clear of this for awhile and see if they recover.
