Sabayon Linux became the official Beryl distro!!!

Official Distributions

The official Beryl distro, offers beryl installed by default.
Sabayon


>Performance, Versatility, Stability
With a heavily modified make.conf to ensure that Sabayon runs at the highest speed possible on newer computer hardware and fast on semi-older hardware Sabayon delivers some of the best performance in the Linux world today. Sabayon has also compiled the kernel to run well against many available architectures while still leaving the ability to change anything at your desire. With Sabayon it is possible to boot up with Beryl, to have Beryl automatically setup and installed, or to boot with gentoo legacy. Being built upon the strengths of Gentoo, Sabayon provides a rock solid distribution that stays smooth even under the extreme loads.

geh didn't see that link (I thought the page being linked was the one on the Sabayon site). that's pretty ridiculous. I'm interested to see what the reaction will be. I like Sabayon, I don't use it that often, though.

It's interesting that they chose a KDE distro as their official distro, when beryl is clearly more functional (and pretty) with Gnome right now. As a KDE user, I have to say, I cringe every time I have to use a GTK interface because they always look like crap on KDE.

But yeah. Surprised they didnt choose a GNOME-centric distro instead

pretty easy answer there currently are only two distros that have Beryl by default Sabayon and KNOPPIX.....the are both KDE by default yet both come with Gnome in their DVD releases....so both Sabayon and KNOPPIX are the logical choices.

I don't think any distro should have beryl by default, nothing says "lets play into the current desktop trends of microsoft" more than shipping a 3d desktop.

Anyone notice that Apple isn't even concerned with bringing 3d to the desktop? Last time I checked, everyone looks to Apple for innovation and it doesn't seem that they consider the 3d eye candy trend to be at all innovative for anything productive in desktop computing.

They've been having 3d effects..........

We should never judge things by what apple do. They have the Quartz Extreme composite windowing system which changes regularly. Bery should be optional but most certainly should be made available for those who choose to use it.
