I installed LXDE on my aging laptop and found it to be significantly quicker. Was planning to mess around with XFCE later to see if I like it, but I at least know for sure now that I am not going to be using Gnome anymore. Its just too sluggish on my P4/512k RAM laptop.
Whats the safest way to completely remove Gnome, and is it necessary that I do this? I'm not exactly short on HDD space (yet), but it seems stupid to keep it installed if I'm not going to use it. I'm assuming I could just uninstall it in synaptic, but I have a history of attempting things like this and finding some way to render the system unusable. Don't ask me how. It just happens.
