Default Sabayon 4.1

Have anyone used Sabayon before? What is your opinion about this distro?

I heard its based on Gentoo, kind of like Ubuntu to Debian.

Before only things I used where Ubuntu, Mint, openSuse. So I only familiar with RPM and DEP file managers and "installers".

What about Portage? I am guessing that what is used in Sabayon, since its based on Gentoo. How easy is it to find packages to install, do updates?
Can I search for software inside Portage, kind of like I did in Ubuntu, openSuse?
Or Portage a bit different?
