[...] That KDEmod desktop I was hunting works well on the small Thinkpad, with about the same performance as a minimal Gnome system. [...]

I checked out LXDE a lil while ago, but it reminded me too much of a Windows desktop like XP. although it uses Openbox, I am sure the theme could easily be changed.

That’s just the initial feeling I got. But I am still not sure if this is a complete DE yet. Gnome and KDE have a lot of features which are not commonly used. So if LXDE can provide a basic DE with things like easy wallpaper changing, auto-mount of usb drives and such it would be great. I think they already provide these two things…I was just mentioning things that ppl tend to use most often.

I still feel LXDE has some ways to go. Probably in about 6 months to a year it will be the DE of choice for people who hate the bloat of Gnome and KDE and even Xfce to an extent and don’t want to build their own system.

Good Stuff tho, K.Mandla
Have always enjoyed your blog…
