It seems sabayon also has compiz. You need to give the right boot time parameter.

It is stable. I have used beryl on ubuntu for quite some time and never had problems. Only time I had problem was when using onboard graphics. Turns out my savage card wasn't supported.

You have to pass it as a parameter at the boot time. Just when the live cd starts booting press F1, it will give you all the options you have. You may even have to press F2, F3, etc to get all the options. Just type them as you need.

Just another linux lover.
Integration of 3D desktop beryl+emerald as add-on for KDE (manual start with gnome is also possible), via boot option knoppix desktop=beryl.

Here is some upgrade info on the new Sabayon 3.3 release

*www.sabayonlinux.org/sabayon/press/logos/2007/sabayon-announce.png

March 16th, 2007 -
  • New features and improvements:
  • Sabayon Linux kernel sources based on 2.6.20 featuring wireless-dev, unionfs, squashfs 3.0, Afatech 9005 support, MacTel enhanced support

  • Featuring both software raid support and dmraid 1.0
  • GeeXbox has been updated to 1.1rc1 waiting for the upcoming 2.0 release.
  • Gentoo Portage import freeze was on the 20th of January, 2007
  • Complete artwork redesign to meet the new marketing strategy
  • Faster boot time thanks to massive startup optimizations
  • Created the basis to the yet highly experimental eINIT support trough the selection of the accelerated init system using (accel_init=/sbin/einit)
  • Featuring HAL 0.5.9 and D-Bus 1.0.2 for an out-of-the-box laptop experience
  • X.Org 7.2 featuring AIGLX and Composite support
  • Beryl 0.2.0r2 supporting XGL, AIGLX and NVIDIA Composite extension
  • NVIDIA Drivers 9755 and 9631 (legacy - automatically triggered - to disable append nvidia=disablelegacy to the boot prompt. To force 9631, append nvidia=forcefail instead) sporting our runtime linking feature
  • Support for the latest NVIDIA GPUs like GeForce 8800 GTX
  • ATI Drivers 8.34.8 sporting our runtime linking feature
  • ATI GPU detection improved for X600, X700, X8xx video cards
  • Metisse 0.4 Technology Preview ONLY for GNOME and KDE desktops
  • Outstanding wireless support thanks to the drivers imported from the wireless-dev linux kernel git tree (sporting the cutting edge DeviceScape IEEE802xx stack) and to a much more integrated NetworkManager stack
  • Outstanding NTFS support in read/write mode thanks to NTFS-3G 1.0
  • Fonts rendering highly improved on all the Desktop Environments (fonts look sharp and clean now)

  • New Games on the DVD! (removed Quake4 and added Sauerbraten - aka Cube 2 - and Battle of Wesnoth)
  • Get Live Help extended to the shell using irssi (you can run "get-live-help" without X.Org, chat with us and get helped, LIVE!)
  • New Virtualization Support stack featuring: KVM-12 (fully supported), libvirt and Virt-Manager GUI (Technology Preview ONLY)
  • Music Edition is now enabled by default (you'll hear a nice music made by Tryad on Jamendo.org during the Live boot - CC License)
  • Sabayon Linux Installer is now about 25% faster on fresh installations and 10% faster on upgrades
  • 6th Sense Install upgrades now could be considered much more ironed out and tested but still EXPERIMENTAL
  • New users creation after install will have the new Sabayon Linux default look
  • Automatic and out-of-the-box video card auto-reconfiguration after install: if you'll upgrade your PC to a new video card, the system will auto-reconfigure X.Org automatically
  • Finally we have a LVM Management GUI imported from RH - system-config-lvm
  • Language Configuration Helpers have been rewritten and ironed out
  • Mozilla applications language autoconfiguration now works nicely
  • Added Safe Internet Browsing Helpers to easily enable/disable Tor/Privoxy stack after install on GNOME, Ephipany, KDE, Konqueror, Mozilla applications and Opera. See /sbin/safe-browsing-setup
  • Netscape Flash now works out-of-the-box on Firefox, Konqueror and Opera browsers
  • Tons of stability fixes.

^ Sabayon is Gentoo based and if you just want to push files through bluetooth then installing and setting up Bluez should not be too difficult. Usually almost everything works straight after installing.
