Sabayon was never high on my list of favorite Linux distros. I tried a number of times to like it, but it tried to do too many things at once, both literally and figuratively. It was huge, ungainly, and suffered as a result. XFCE has been considered a lightweight desktop environment for awhile now, and I agree. It has gotten a bit bigger lately, but still quicker than either GNOME or KDE. Someone finally got the idea of addressing the obesity of one with the efficiency of the other.

On yet another jaunt through DistroWatch (link to the right of this article) in serach of new stuff to break try out and review here, I found this. At first glance it looked like an amateur 3rd-gen spin by someone's college-bound slacker, but as it turns out this is "real" Linux, as in source-compiled. Some people may never understand why that is a good thing.

Hey Fedora, how's it going? Yeah, long time no see. So how've you been? I have to say time has been kind to you, you look good. I hear you've successfully moved on; I have too. What's that? You have a new version and you want me to see it? Ummm...

 I'd been looking forward to this for awhile. Yeah I know, the rest of you were just sooooooo excited about the latest Ubuntu Loser Links or whatever it's called, but this was something actually interesting; instead of more, this is about less.

 It's fast, it's furious, it's...running KDE4? Well, guess that means that KDE4 is officially considered stable, because Texstar wouldn't have any of it if it wasn't.
