    Re: What Desktop Environment Are You Using?

    IceWM + pcmanfm for desktop.
    Removed xfce; haven't used GNOME in ages (try running ubuntu-desktop on an 1999 Thinkpad w/ 64 MB RAM...), KDE I only use on NimbleX
    This is on Jaunty; formerly used Dapper.
    Thanks,

    GNOME is such a resource (space and memory) hog; so is KDE.

    Just my two cents.

    Fluxbox rules!

    My computer has a bit of age on it now and my box runs fluxbox much faster than does any DE I have tried. I really like the tabbing of windows and the slit.

    Openbox on a laptop, Xfce on two desktops, LXDE on a "test" computer (not a mission-critical one, since LXDE has been buggy for me, but I still really like it and am looking forward to using it when it matures a little. Will definitely give Lubuntu a spin after it's been out for a month or so.

    I'd like a screenshot please !
    I enjoy using Openbox. Lets see, I mix a little xorg & xdm with Openbox, stir well while mixing in some pcmanfm, and top of with feh wallpaper. Ummmm good.

    Re: What Desktop Environment Are You Using?

    Desktop: Arch + KDE
    Laptop: Fedora + GNOME

    I also really like Xfce. I'm just using GNOME because it's the default in Fedora and I'm perfectly fine with it. No real interest in lightweight wms anymore. They take longer to configure, and I find I'm always tweaking them never to be able to really get comfortable. Plus, I don't care how much ram I'm using anymore. The only lightweight wm I'd probably use is dwm, because it's nice if you're using mostly terminal apps (because of tiling) and the design is nice and simple.
    Code:
    while true; do echo -n "RiceMonster "; done

    Re: What Desktop Environment Are You Using?

    I have Arch installed on my Desktop and both Laptops, all have Openbox, and Tint2 panel. I know it isn't very diverse but I can't get enough of it. They all have different wallpapers though thats a start. I should however try something different maybe a tiling WM I have all day tomorrow to screw around with the WM.
