The Sabayon project produces a Gentoo-based distribution that provides a great deal of functionality out of the box. The Sabayon team has released Sabayon 16.04 which features a number of updates to the installer, kernel and desktop applications. Perhaps the most significant change though is Sabayon's new community repository. "The Sabayon Community Repositories infrastructure will build repositories for the community, and it is managed by the community itself. There is a main Community repository while there is room to add other repositories, "slots", that SCR Developers are free to use. More on how it works will come later. Currently we are in alpha state, but we are having great results, some packages are already available to the public. The goal here is to have a system like AUR for Arch and PPA for Ubuntu where Sabayon Community Developers (which are community members first) maintain multiple repositories or packages of the Community repository." Additional information is available on the Sabayon Community Repositories website. The Sabayon project provides a range of editions, including builds for GNOME, KDE, MATE and Xfce. Additional information can be found in the project's release announcement.

The developers of Sabayon, a Gentoo-based rolling release distribution, have announced the launch of Sabayon 15.11. The new version ships with a number of interesting new features, one of which is a server edition. "This release will introduce the Sabayon server edition, which is just perfect for those who want to run this distro as a pure server. The installer is still Calamares (just GUI install as for now), but running on a ad hoc instance of X, that consequentially bloats the ISO size, but after install all the additional components requested by Calamares are removed from the system. We now also service you with Vagrant images." This release also includes Docker images and the KDE edition of Sabayon 15.11 now ships with LightDM as the default login manager. This release is available for 64-bit x86 machines only. Further information on Sabayon 15.11 can be found in the project's release announcement.

Joost Ruis has announced the release of Sabayon 15.10, the latest monthly build of the Gentoo-based distribution available in GNOME, KDE, MATE and Xfce desktop flavours. This is Sabayon's first release that features KDE's Plasma 5 desktop, as well as a new system installer. From the release announcement: "As already pre-announced, we switched the default installer. Anaconda served us well, but we decided to embrace the community-baked Calamares, the distribution-independent installer. If you don't know it, check out their website. Also if it is young and some features are missing, it is lighter and more bug-free with respect to our old installer. The KDE edition now ships the new Plasma 5 by default. Since we had to put much effort in making a working release with Calamares, we had to ditch Steam Big Picture mode and Media Center installation options."
