I downloaded sabayon linux last night, left it on over night. Burned the dvd today. First time I booted it, I couldn’t hit enter, as the keyboard wasn’t working. Read on apple’s forum to unplug everything but the keyboard from usb, and that worked. Then I plugged everything back in keeping the keyboard plugged in to the first usb slot, rebooted and the keyboard still worked. Then after it started up all I saw was a gray screen with a mouse pointer, so I clicked ctrl alt f1, and typed killall kdm, and then clicked ctrl alt f1 again, and typed gdm. I also read that kdm doesn’t work right on mac’s, read that on sabayon linux’s forum. After I logged in with “sabayonuser” and “sabayonuser” for the password, I connected to the internet by the wireless card, which worked right away, without doing anything. Just had to enter my wpa password. Sound didn’t seem to work, didn’t try to get it to work. Compiz works, kind of laggy on the live dvd, might work better if it was installed, no plans on installing it. After you enable compiz, you have to logout and log back in, for it to work.
