 Yeah Sabayon has been using the unstable branch of Gentoo for awhile,
as well as changing the way USE flags, masked packages and one other
key file (I think the file that lists all of your packages) are
handled. They also used Baselayout 2.0, which is SOOOO Much nicer
(along with Arch and i think FreeBSD) for awhile now. Last time I
checked Gentoo still used the last 1.x of Baselayout.

 I asked on the gentoo forums and the sabayon forums what it would
take to move from Sabayon to stock-Gentoo, figuring it would just take
a remove of the Sabayon overlay and an emerge world, but the response
on both sides said that with Sab on Baselayout 2.0 and the unstable
branch, the changes in packages would probably be too far apart for it
to be worth it. (Though, sidenote: Sabayon to Gentoo-unstable could be
possible with a lot of tweaking.

I'm actually looking at Arch again, spent a few hours last night
re-roaming the wikis, looking up a few tips and tricks, and re-read
the entire wireless and and wpa_supp articles over again, I think I
actually found what I was doing wrong last time so I might give it
another try when I get back home and I have a better (Faster) network
connection
