<h1>Introduction</h1>
We're once again here to announce the immediate availability of <b>Sabayon 10</b> in all of its tier-1 flavours. If you really enjoyed Sabayon 9, this is just another step towards World domination (yay!).
There you have it, shining at full bright, for your home computer, your laptop and your servers, virtualized or not.

<h1>Features</h1>
<h2>GNOME 2, no wait, MATE</h2>
<p>The Sabayon/Gentoo MATE overlay available on <a href="https://github.com/Sabayon/mate-overlay">GitHub</a> rapidly gained a lot of interest among Sabayon, Gentoo developers and final users. Many people wanted GNOME 2 back and there you have it! We are more than happy to serve MATE to all our users and officially support it starting from now. Hence, Sabayon 10 MATE is now available on mirrors! A special thank goes to Joost Ruis (joost_op), Steev Klimaszewski (steev) and others.<br/>

<p>While Sabayon 9 saw the introduction of Gentoo Hardened features for system packages, Sabayon 10 goes a bit further by also providing an X.Org friendly hardened kernel based on the Gentoo Hardened patchset. All this can be found inside the HardenedServer ISO images for both i686 and x86_64 architectures. Another difference between the ServerBase ISO image and HardenedServer is that the latter features X.Org, Open Source drivers and our beloved graphical installer.</p>
<h2>Amazon EC2</h2>
<p>Running Sabayon on Amazon EC2 is more than a necessity for us. It's how we implement our failover disaster recovery plan. And why not making our EC2-ready kernels, and semi-official AMIs available to our users as well? If you are interested in trying out Sabayon on Amazon EC2, now you can do it? Our AMIs are available in the EU (Ireland) Region at this time and you can read more about it at <a href="http://lxnay.wordpress.com/2012/07/30/sabayon-on-amazon-ec2/">Fabio Erculiani's blog</a>.</p>

<h2>Linux 3.5.4 + Fusion patches</h2>
<p>So far, our Fusion patchset has been almost completely merged into our default kernel, with the exception of Tuxonice, which doesn't provide same-day kernel patches (and our users know that we're kernel junkies). However, the most interesting piece of iosched ever released is now the default one in all our kernels and it's performing great. Of course we're talking about the BFQ iosched written by <a href="http://algo.ing.unimo.it/people/paolo/disk_sched/">Paolo Valente</a>.</p>

<p>Mesa 9 is not out yet, but you can get a taste of it in Sabayon 10 already, which is shipping with a 2012-08-31 snapshot of Mesa 9 and updated libdrm and drivers stack. Out of the box Kernel-Mode-Setting experience has been improved for Intel and Matrox video cards as well, while due to conflicts with fglrx, radeon KMS still requires some scripty help (but this will be addressed once Linux 3.6 is out). Please have a look at our footnotes if you have problems booting your system on AMD hardware.</p>
<h2>ZFS, Grub 2.00</h2>
<p>Starting from Sabayon 10 kernels (and 3.5 kernels available in repositories), ZFS is loaded earlier during the boot process, making users able to boot their system directly from a ZFS filesystem. Grub 2.00 introduced libzfs support as well. However, our installer does not support ZFS out of the box yet. A special thank goes to Richard Yao for having followed the integration process closely enough with upstream for us.</p>

<h2>New udev, kmod stack</h2>
<p>As many other distributions, we were tempted by systemd to the point that we made it easier to migrate to it through Portage (and you can do that as well, with some trickery). This required a new udev-systemd snapshot and the migration to kmod, from module-init-tools. Our team, more precisely Joost Ruis, decided to benchmark OpenRC (our current init system) against Systemd and the results were a bit disappointing. While Systemd has proved to be faster, our real world scenarios simulation showed that the difference is well below 8 seconds for the boot process. Does this justify the move towards a less-tested and for many controversial technology? Not yet, our boot is fast enough. Do the average people restart their system more than 5 times a day? We don't think so.</p>
<h2>KDE 4.9, GNOME 3.4.2, Xfce 4.10.0</h2>
<p>As it always happen, all the main Desktop Environments (Desktop?) have been updated to their latest stable releases. They now look even better on LCD screens thanks to the integration of the Infinality patches, read below.</p>

<h2>LibreOffice 3.6</h2>
<p>While we love to provide almost-same-day support for new stable kernel releases, we also love to bump LibreOffice once a new major release is out. Enjoy the latest and greatest LibreOffice release to date. Thanks to <a href="http://blogs.gentoo.org/scarabeus">scarabeus</a> for providing outstanding ebuilds all the time.</p>

<p>It is always hard to track down all the features that we incrementally introduced during this cycle and most of the times it does not make sense to list them in the propaganda notes here (eheh). However, one nice and small feature worth a mention is the ability to sanity check your Live media (whether it is USB or DVD doesn't matter) through the Live boot menu.</b>
