I'm looking forward to seeing the new release in action. I'm hoping that v3.4 resolves a problem I've experienced on one of my computers with every previous version. The computer is an older dual P3 with a 3ware 7500-4 ide raid controller. I use 4 40GB drives as two mirrored pairs. I partitioned the drives manually during install. Sabayon 3.3 ran fine as a live distribution, but just like previous versions, after installing it had problems with the pair assigned as my /home. On reboot the partition wasn't mounted, and according to gparted there was a bad magic number in super-block reported. I'd log in as root, re-partition the drive, format the partition, re-create the user data, and was able to log in as the user. At reboot I faced the same situation. It's strange that Sabayon had a problem with drives that another major distribution beginning with S used with no problems.
Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.
