Coolness. Here is mine:

Now for some questions. As far as beauty, is there anything you can pinpoint, or is it mainly the whole or the sum of the parts? And when you mention fast, can you elaborate a little on that. My problem is that I process photos and speed is important to me when I am running hundreds of photos through a program. So if you were to put a percent speed boost to your computer (as subjective as that naturally is) what would you put it at, your rough feeling?

Right now I have about parity with XP, but no faster. I hear people talking about how fast linux is in comparison, but I have never been able to experience this

Sabayon is very nice and quite a bit more responsive in my experience than Kubuntu. It's little too cutting-edge for me, though. I prefer my apps to be more stable than featureful.

The default theme they use is the best one I've seen so far aside from the default theme for Ubuntu Dapper. The only thing I had to tweak was to turn off the subpixel smoothing (which didn't work quite right in Kubuntu either).

too cutting edge? while yes it is cutting edge it also happens to be the most stable OS in existence...

Sabayon is Gentoo plain and simple, just pre-compiled Gentoo, Gentoo is the most Stable Linux OS in existence.

The difference with Sabayon is they have done the work for you so in approx. 5 minutes you can have a stable, reliable and fast Gentoo OS running on your computer. The difference is this Gentoo is called Sabayon.

It's got a lot of stuff on the DVD, but I need to put acpi= force in the command line to make it boot and it takes about 20 minutes to load up on my old machine.

as stated previously Sabayon is not meant for old hardware....you can try the mini---but honestly there are alot of distros for old hardware....try Puppy Linux.

Gentoo is possibly the most Stable, but I don't know about Sabayon.
