<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 included the inclusion of 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>
