Sabayon comes in different flavours to choose.
To distinguish between them, a suffix is appended to file names.
Here's a short description. More details can be found in this thread on Sabayon forum.

This directory contains "daily" images, which are generated automatically every few days (as the name suggests), and features even more editions to choose from.

Note: "daily" snapshots are generated automatically.
They are not as much tested as the "normal" releases.
Even though they should usually work, consider downloading
one of the official releases if you are new to Sabayon.

hilights:

G

This version contains the well known GNOME 3.

K

This version comes with KDE SC, another popular desktop environment.

Xfce

Contains Xfce - lightweight yet very functional and friendly desktop.

LXDE

With LXDE. Small, pretty and usable.

E17

With Enlightenment DR17.

MATE

With the GNOME 2 fork.

Core releases:

SpinBase

It's a very minimal environment that can be used for many different purposes: didactical, home server deployment, and even for custom Sabayon ISO images creation, using our tool called Molecule. Any Sabayon release we make is based on SpinBase.

CoreCDX

It's geared towards very minimal graphical environment setup, no fancy tools, browsers, whatever, just Fluxbox and command line.

ServerBase

It's very similar to SpinBase, but powered by a server-optimized Linux kernel (package: sys-kernel/linux-server).

OpenVZ

It's our official OpenVZ template.

All of them have a smaller footprint making them fit into a single CD, or USB memory sticks.
SpinBase and ServerBase are provided with a very minimal Anaconda Installer and CoreCDX should be preferred for non-standard filesystem/partition layouts.

the rest:

ForensicsXfce

Editions for forensics related tasks. More.

ARM images

Images for ARM7. Those without "rootfs" in their name are for BeagleBone/BeagleBoard devices and the other ones should work on any ARM7 device.

All dates are in day-month-year format.
