Sabayon 5.3 Xfce & Lxde - a few impressions
In 5.3 Sabayon comes with a much cleaner more professional looking default background in dark blue. Not too heavy on the eyes the way I like it, however compared to previous releases it's also easy their most boring background so far. You can't have everything.
As usual with supposedly less resource hungry distributions I installed Sabayon "Xfce" in a virtual environment with 512MB Ram, some get a lot less if it looks like they can handle it, and on my old AMD Spitfire clocked @ 1000MHz with 512MB Ram and ASRock motherboard as well. This should do and there are more underpowered systems around, so if it can't perform on these settings it's no good for a light distribution in my book. I'll also look at the "Lxde" version briefly just to see if there are notable differences.
