must have missed your post...
i don't mind bleeding edge; i just don't want to spend hours fixing things
like i did on fc4... actually part of why i picked fc4 to convert to linux; lots stuff worked just enough
i manually fixed to learn it.
but i'm over that now, my day job keeps me way to busy.
i want 3d desktop, multimedia (even avi, streaming, etc), kde, fast distro,
and up-to-date packages.
considering my family also uses this laptop, do you think sabayon would fit the bill?

Actually, I think I replied. It was just a rather short (and somewhat insubstantial) reply. Portage has been very simple for me to learn. Within about a week of having Sabayon, I started to get the hang of it. I made a short post
here on how I use it. Don't wait too
long for the next release, though. Sabayon has a very fast incremental release cycle. Talk about bleeding edge: if a package is released the
day before a release, chances are that the package will be on the ISO (this has happened!).

Where were you when I asked about Sabayon?
I posted asking for ops? I tried the liveCD. Liked it, but there were a couple things still a little flaky.
Also, I'm not so familiar with portage as I am with yum & rpm's. I will probably try it again when
they have another release .

This is moving slightly away from your original topic, but if you'd really like
to try AIGLX, try Sabayon Linux. It works with both XGL and AIGLX for Intel, Nvidia, and ATi graphics cards. (although I've never gotten anything to work quite right with ATi on Linux, Sabayon Linux included.

I would provide a link to the post on fedora-announce, but the their list site is currently
down for maintenance.
It should be up on
fedoranews.org tomorrow sometime.
In the meantime, Mandriva One 2007 is working pretty nicely with Xgl. (I'd really like to use Aiglx because
I prefer the implementation approach... but I should just get over that for now.)
