I read a little bit about this distro and I’d like to try it, but I have a simple question. Is it RPM based or Debian based?

niether. It’s Gentoo based.

As has been already said Sabayon is Gentoo based and in general very impressive. One thing of note for a Linux distro. it has a fair amount of bloat so ideally you need a fairly high spec. machine to run it
I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 8 Main Edition which is built upon Ubuntu 9.10 Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 8 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation
Linux Mint 8 can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive
Also worth looking at is Ubuntu 9.10
