Sabayon-6.0-Sinhala Linux Update

Sabayon which is Gentoo derivative with XMBC media center as a good product is coming out like PCLinux with all the little little distribution including E!7-Enlightenment. While Gentoo is wasting time producing a huge Live DVD without an install script, Sabayon is doing a yeoman service to the Linux Community.
It is even one better than PCLinux for Sri-Lankans and it has Sinhala capability too. I hope Sinhala translators will help it to get Sinhlaa Unicode (Tamil too) in robust form now that tabloids are hitting the market.
Had I not got used to PCLinux and FullMonty, this is one I will use for sure on a regular basis.
I have only little caution XBMC is graphic intensive and if you have RAM less than 1 GiB the big version is not for you.
XMBC that comes with KDE version did not configure with my old Graphic Card and it has touch creen capability for new LCV monitors and (tabloid ready) laptops which is keeping with new hardware.
The LXDE version is pretty good and it runs well in my old IBM NetVista.
Unlike PCLinux it has both 32 and 64 bit versions and i am still waiting for PCLinux 64 bit version.

Sabyon is keeping it promise to the dream we believe on.
Well done guys and girls at the Sabayon Community.

Go ahead and enjoy Sabayon.
