Apparently their goal is to have their installer produce a system that looks really nice, but is completely compatible with gentoo. (I'm assuming that by that, they mean it will work with the portage system properly, and everything else will be familiar to gentoo users...?) I had some free time and a spare box, and decided to poke around a bit, and I found the same issue that Danny is seeing. Pretty frustrating, actually! The networking works just fine, but something to do with DNS is broken. I can ping anything (LAN or WAN) by IP, but nothing WAN by name. I did some googling and found that this is a known issue. http://www.sabayonlinux.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=9677 There has been a bug filed for this issue, and there is a temporary workaround, but not a permanent fix yet. I tried the workaround, with great success. http://bugs.sabayonlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=282 FWIW, I had previously installed Ubuntu 7.04 on this computer, and it just worked for everything except having a proper display resolution for the hardware I'm using. I did use the mini install from Sabayon instead of the full install, and it left me missing a lot of things that I would like to see in a default install.
