Sabayon Linux or Sabayon (formerly RR4 Linux and RR64 Linux), was an Italian Gentoo-based Linux distribution created by Fabio Erculiani and the Sabayon development team. Sabayon followed the "out of the box" philosophy, aiming to give the user a wide number of applications ready to use and a self-configured operating system.

Sabayon Linux featured a rolling release cycle, its own software repository and a package management system called Entropy. Sabayon was available in both x86 and AMD64 distributions and there was support for ARMv7 in development for the BeagleBone.[3]

It was named after an Italian dessert, zabaione, which is made from eggs.[4] Sabayon's logo was an impression of a chicken foot.[5] In November 2020 it was announced that future Sabayon Linux versions would be based on Funtoo instead of Gentoo Linux.[6] Sabayon Linux was replaced by MocaccinoOS.[7]
