“When you first start the installer you get the option
of installing the regular Gnome desktop or Sabayon Media Center or
Sabayaon Linux Fluxbox Desktop. I did not test the media center as
I have very little use for it but you may want to give it a shot.
The Fluxbox desktop environment provides a more minimalistic
experience than Gnome or KDE and might be suited for those who are
using older computers.

“At one point during the install you will be able to pick which
categories of apps you want to install and you can view the details
of each category before installing. You can choose to install
Office Applications, Internet Applications, Multimedia Applications
as well as some Basic Free Games. Note, however, that you cannot
pick and choose individual apps to install. You are limited to
installing the entire category or not.”
