What desktops are available for Sabayon by default upon install and boot?

here is the out put of:

emerge --help config

emerge --help config
*** Deprecated use of action 'config', use '--config' instead

Config file management support (preliminary)

Portage has a special feature called "config file protection". The purpose of
this feature is to prevent new package installs from clobbering existing
configuration files. By default, config file protection is turned on for /etc
and the KDE configuration dirs; more may be added in the future.

When Portage installs a file into a protected directory tree like /etc, any
existing files will not be overwritten. If a file of the same name already
exists, Portage will change the name of the to-be-installed file from 'foo' to
'._cfg0000_foo'. If '._cfg0000_foo' already exists, this name becomes
'._cfg0001_foo', etc. In this way, existing files are not overwritten,
allowing the administrator to manually merge the new config files and avoid any
unexpected changes.

In addition to protecting overwritten files, Portage will not delete any files
from a protected directory when a package is unmerged. While this may be a
little bit untidy, it does prevent potentially valuable config files from being
deleted, which is of paramount importance.

Protected directories are set using the CONFIG_PROTECT variable, normally
defined in /etc/make.globals. Directory exceptions to the CONFIG_PROTECTed
directories can be specified using the CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK variable. To find
files that need to be updated in /etc, type:

# find /etc -iname '._cfg????_*'

You can disable this feature by setting CONFIG_PROTECT="-*" in /etc/make.conf.
Then, Portage will mercilessly auto-update your config files. Alternatively,
you can leave Config File Protection on but tell Portage that it can overwrite
files in certain specific /etc subdirectories. For example, if you wanted
Portage to automatically update your rc scripts and your wget configuration,
but didn't want any other changes made without your explicit approval, you'd
add this to /etc/make.conf:

CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/wget /etc/rc.d"

Tools such as dispatch-conf, cfg-update, and etc-update are also available to
aid in the merging of these files. They provide interactive merging and can
auto-merge trivial changes.

the grub,partitioner, nearly everything about sabayon was much simpler for me to use, i believe if you make a dual booting machine you'll have your hand held through the grub configuration process, after being asked if you want to keep your old one, or get the one that comes with sabayon. i was VERY impressed with sabayon i can't stress that enough, imo everyone that has ubuntu installed on the pc, should install this as well theres no better way to build experience using gentoo, portage, and emerge and better yet this is something that needs to be in your bag of tricks you can simply put this CD in a your buddys tray show them beryl and take it off without so much as a scratch on there hd. linux has come such a long way its really quite impressive.

I installed the Sabayon on HDD but I still use Kubuntu more for a few reasons:
1. Beryl is very jerky in Sabayon on my system for some stupid reason i dont understand. The original beryl was, svn beryl is too, maybe i should update drivers, i dont know
2. my kubuntu is tweaked great for my needs cause i use it for a long time, and for now i dont have enough time to tweak again... But i think i will try Gentoo after exams It just looks challenging for me

what version Sabayon?....I found the new 3.26 to be the most reliable, with no bugs....at least none to report yet.
