In addition, a new theme named Ia Ora ("hello" in French Polynesian) has been introduced.

Full list of changesKVM, PS3 support, UDP-lite support, better per-process IO accounting, relative atime, relocatable x86 kernel, some x86 microoptimizations, lockless radix-tree readside, shared pagetables for hugetbl and many other things
The fact that things work out of the box will be welcomed to many new users. Most anything you need to do can be done immediately after installing. Ripping DVDs or Audio CD's, re-encoding a FLAC file to an MP3 with soundKonverter, updating your spreadsheets, playing with Google Earth or even using NX, Tor or the other many programs installed. No other distro comes close (to my knowledge) of the sheer amount of potential after initial install.
The Beta testing team, Luca, our developers and me, agree that is the most perfect, complete and stable version ever released. It's faster, smarter, lightier and comes with a ton of exciting and highly awaited features.
Sabayon Linux 3.3 is definitely worth your consideration if you’re looking for a distribution that has all the latest stuff. It’s very well put together and the hardware support seems to be top notch as well.
