How-to: Installing Apps in Sabayon Linux 3.4

[TheGodfatherUk]

I don't like Fedora, Ubuntu with the 10.04 left window buttons drove me mad..Sabayon is great...learning curve with terminal requires patience, But you have to admit..ITS COOL.

Fantastic video, Really helped me :)

I just switched to sabayon and am finding installing applications to be impossible for me. Can someone walk me through the process? I'm trying to install rhythmbox.

Installing programs in n steps:

1. open a shell:

1.1 in most WMs: press Alt+F2

1.2. type in: xterm [enter]

2. in the shell become root user by

2.1 either typing in: su -

2.2 or typing in: sudo su

3. install:

3.1 type in: emerge -av rhythmbox

Very good tutorial it did help me a lot. Althogh Ubuntu is a lot more easy in many ways. Sabayon is very powerful and it does better hardware detection.

thankyou , i am just starting and i found this very useful video

Great Video, I agree that it is easier in Ubuntu

But Sabayon has so many packages from the start that you need much less package install. Keep up the good work!

I have to agree with wolf9111, i installed ubuntu and found it harder to use. I might add i tried ubuntu out of curiousty.

Went back to Sabayonlinux 3.4f on my Toshiba Tecra M5 laptop.

Even managed install Counterstrike source under Wine-Doors in 30 mins, at lower settings than my desktop but worked never the less.

im about to switch over to linux but am unsure which distro to go w/. im leaning more for ubuntu 7.10 but i just ran into sabayon. im looking for more eye candy then anything else. but most importantly i want an easy to use os for a newbie like me. w/ this video it seems sabayon is kinda tough to use. So should i stil go w/ ubuntu??

get PclinuxOS << easiest for newbies :)... trust me and its fast. Ubuntu is fine but i would recomment PclinuxOs as im using it as we speak .. and its extremely stable.
