I believe the server actually got attacked.. I'm no newbie.. but between
the forums and even just the main documentation listing I still believe
there is enough there. On top of that the documentation is coming back
together.. BTW in terms of audio.. the gentoo pro audio list is fairly
quiet and very friendly......

Sabayon is simply a pre-rolled Gentoo.. (maybe stage 4 or 5 even??) and
yes an excellent point for newbie.. but I found for pro-audio stuff I
was running into dependency hell.. alot easier to start from stage 3
install...
