Yeah, Sabayon is a friendly version of gentoo. It comes with a lot of binaries installed, but has full access to the portage system too. It also has access to it's own package library of pre-compiled portage packages. Comes with the option of Gnome, KDE or XFCE and some others too. It's a live dvd so you can try before you install. Pretty much the best of all worlds. I'm glad I got blitzmax working on it. Probably the first time I've had any real trouble.

I'm not sure how new gcc-4.3.1 is, but it seems to work fine with blitz so far. I just linked it to 3.3 after emerging.
I'm running on a x86 processor still, so I haven't had to deal with 32 bit emulation so far.
