I solve the problem doing the following steps:
1) Go to the applet Edit Connections
2) Edit the wireless connection whit the problem
3) Go to IPV4 Settings tab
4) Change to Automatic (DHCP) addresses Only
5) Write the following DNS Addresses: 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 (Google public DNS servers)
6) Save the settings, and restart your wireless router
I hope this helps

@alucardni LOL it would be nice to redo the same comparison today with Gnome 3 ! And also notice the great increase of RAM consumption in Linux distributions

Dunno if you the author is interested or anyone reading this but I have a guide for the sip.conf, extensions.conf and voicemail.conf if you are interested.

Sabayon provides both Entropy (the default package manager) which installs pre-compiled binaries as well as Portage the Gentoo package manager which lets you install and compile from source.

Tyler,

Sabayon is based on Gentoo. Gentoo, as in the fastest penguin. Gentoo lets you custom compile software for your specific hardware. I don’t believe Sabayon changes this. I think Sabayon just makes it easier to install and drivers and such… So, what you are doing is not just downloading a precompiled package, you are downloading the source code and compiling it according to whatever local settings.

HTH

Try plain Debian. Linux Mint Debian Edition is the testing version of debian, with a bunch of cruft added to it and with a bizarre update policy that leaves users without security fixes sometimes.
