 ===Begin updating and upgrading===
-With a fresh install that massive amount of updates will take about 3-8 hours to download and install. I try to begin it before going to bed and then i can sleep while its doing its thing. Some good news here is you can still surf the net or play with your other settings while the update is happening. Keep in mind you have 2 different package managers available. Sabayon's own package manager, Entropy, (with GUI counterpart Sulfur) which is awsome. There is also Gentoo's package manager, Portage, which is awsome also. However, Its recommended you choose and stick with one or the the other. There can be complications and breakage if continuous swapping back and forth between the 2. I think new users should begin with and use Entropy. More experienced users and those that like to tinker with thier system may opt to use Portage. As you get more comfortable with your system migrating to Portage is not too difficult. To keep it simple and prevent mistakes I will only list the Entropy commands, but i'll provide you with the link to update Entropy using Portage if you prefer it.

 *Versatility:  Again, we have modified make.conf to give nice wide range of features for all computers.  We have also compiled the kernel to run well against most of the architectures out there while still leaving plenty of room for performance and, as always, the ability to change anything at your desire.
-*Stability:  While many would call the distribution extremely experimental, we give options. You can choose from several desktop environments and window managers, or opt for a command line-only installation optimised for servers. Also, having being built upon the strengths of Gentoo, you know you're getting a rock-solid distribution worthy of slamming with processor- and ram-intensive jobs while having the OS running smoothly.

-=='''Installer'''==
+== Installer ==
 For our installer, we've chosen to migrate and customize the wonderful Anaconda installer by the Fedora Core team.  The installer is essentially a DVD-to-hard-drive copy with features.  You can pick and choose the packages you want or you can install the whole thing. You can also choose to attempt to rescue the system, or to just rescue your bootloader. The Anaconda installer also greatly simplifies setting up partitions and allows for easy disk and or partition encryption if you desire.
-=='''Package Management'''==
+== Package Management ==
-It is reccomended that you choose and use "only" one of the package managers below. Crossing back and forth can create problems for you. Entropy is recommended for less experienced users, or those preferring a less hands on approach. Portage is recommended for more experienced users who like to tweak and adjust thier system more.

Entropy is recommended for less experienced users, or those preferring a less hands on approach. Portage is recommended for more experienced users who like to tweak and adjust their system more.
 Sabayon is based on Gentoo's testing branch. So using portage commands will pull packages and sync system to gentoo testing. Entropy takes packages from Gentoo testing and they are pre-compiled, than offered to you in binary form. There is a time delay from when Sabayon compiles these packages for Entropy and when you receive them. It is recommended to only use 1 of the package managers to avoid any possible conflicts as a result of the time delay. Generally, Entropy packages will be slightly more stable because they will have already been released in Gentoo testing for a period of time(exact amount of time varies), prior to being released in Entropy.

 Please see our Entropy section [[Entropy ]].  Entropy is the binary package manager. All packages in Entropy are built using Portage (see below) for you, making installing and updating software faster and easier. Note: Portage USE flags have no impact on Entropy as Entropy packages are pre-compiled with existing USE flags on a remote computer.
-Entropy is Sabayon's own package manager, with Sulfur as its GUI and Equo as its command line interface. Packages consist of updates, drivers and any additional software you may wish to add to your system.
