sabayon 3.3 64bit iso

2007-04-02 Thread Ross Drummond
I have down loaded the Sabayon 3.3 linux DVD iso for 64 bit systems. If others want me to burn a DVD I am happy to do so. I suggest that if you want the DVD you contact me off list. I will exchange a burnt DVD for a blank DVD in a jewel case at the CLUG meeting on Tuesday the 10th. Cheers

Hi, yes, sabayon is off the mainstream, because mainstream linux distros do not come with mpg3, avi readers/players in built by default. Quite a bit can be witheld on mainstream distros. I was stunned to discover that Centos-4.4, which is a derivative of redhat, does not do ntfs file systems.
