Edit: @gentoovortex and @kenoby
Openbox and Cinnimon on Sabayon 10 look Great!
What base Sabayon did each of you use OR did you simply add an additional Desktop to an already existing install.
2nd.. If Your installs had been New Sabayon Install what would have been your Base iso choice ?

Just Tried Sabayon10 Gnome3...
Nothing to Show Off.
With Chromium and a Terminal open running at 1.5 gb of MEM
and it is not a well thought out interface...

If you want to try Cinnamon, easiest is to just install it on top of Gnome3 since you have all the gtk3 stuff already.

I quickly trashed G3 too much for my heart to bear.. heh heh
I hear a lot of raves elsewhere regarding Cinnamon though and your implementation looked v. good.
I don't Normally carry Multiple Desktops on the same install but I would make an exception for a light weight DE like OB or Cinnamon. I was just interested as to what ISO would be a good starting point for a OB or Cinnamon Only insttall.
I do use OB on some Debian installs.

@sqlpython

I used the LXDE Daily .iso as it's already stripped down (more so than the others) and I don't need an ethernet connection like Core CDX does to start from scratch. All my config files (autostart, menu.xml, rc.xml and tint2rc) come from another Linux OS where I have something to do with leading the project.
GUI's?? We don't need no stinkin' GUI's!!!

Sabayon Openbox / Gentoo Openbox / Funtoo Openbox / Slackware 14 Current Openbox / ArchBang
