Based on Gentoo,
Sabayon 4.1, tells me:
Great performance with less RAM(though you need like 1GB RAM for it to work well enough).
Package Management System is absolutely fantastic, with it’s new “Entropy”.
Totally the perfect distribution.

This is what a critic would say:
Definitely better than the leading Ubuntu, like a total [...]

To avoid this, you can mount all your partitions with the noatime option. Simply

Installing Gentoo Linux on a USB Drive is very easy… But it’s consequences are even greater! In fact, it is the same with any OS installed on solid-state drives.
