With Sabayon 7, you have the latest of everything. The latest
versions of all of the big desktops are present, including GNOME
3.2, KDE 4.7 and Xfce 4.8. In previous versions, Xfce was only
available in the experimental branches – now you have it
available as its own ISO. You also get XBMC 10.0 available,
allowing you use Sabayon as a media centre right out of the
box.

More people than ever use USB sticks to play with Live CD’s and
do so using tools like unetbootin. This latest version of Sabayon
allows you to simply dd the ISO file directly to a USB device.
