Sabayon-7.0-Linux Update

Sabayon-7.0-Linux Update
If one is fed up with the chnges happening with Ubuntu one has an escape route.
It is sabayon Linux.

Sabayon is Gentoo derivative and has working XBMC as a media center.
Gnome three for me is much better front than Unity as it is now.
Sabayon has LXDE,XFCE,KDE and Gnome.
For me a KDE convert new Gnome gives a very pleasing experience.
Sabayon is the most complete Linux distribution avaible currently.
It even beats PCLinux since PCLinux is still behind with the work for 64 bits architecture.
Unfortunately it is not cloud ready yet.

My top five are (in my order of choice are)

1. Pingue Linux
2. Ubuntu Unity and its derivatives including Ultimate Linux and Ultimate Linux gamer.
3. Sabayon
4. PClinux Fullmonty.
5. Suse / Fedora

Mind you I have not mentioned my favorites.
They are Puppy Linux, Knoppix and DEBIAN.
There 95 more Linux distributions and i have all of them with in my archive for demonstrations.
I am fond of all of them equally and if i did not mentioned those 95, they are mentioned here at parafox and asokaplus.
You are free to browse them.
Reason for choosing Ubuntu is its ablity have its nose in front and being proactive with Cloud Computing.
It is behind with Sinhala but blame goes to Sri=Lankan polity we were prctising war games and still spread hate philosophy 2 years after and we have no time for our mother toungue with Linux.
Nobody should blame for lack of Sinhala but thanks to Anuradha Debian has Sinhala Capability.

Onyx64-Ubuntu Unity Derivative

Onyx64-Ubuntu Unity Derivative
Onyx64 has done honours to Unity desktop and in 2.1 Gib it has picked everything including XBMC.
Only missing thing is Ubuntu One Cloud facility.
It has messed up a bit with workplaces but I could open four different applications and freely pick and drop into any of the four available workplaces.
One has to double click to get to full view and one cannot close an application when they are in in workplace mode framed down since the mouse cannot locate exit button.
It has compiez which nice graphic effects.
XBMC freezes the mouse in exit mode one has to wait few minutes till it exit completely.
It is a Gentoo derivative but if you want to use it download Sabayon and install only media center for use.
It takes an awful lot of graphic memory that is why it freezes.
Overall if you want to Unity experience this one is for you.
If you want XBMC go for Sabayon.
