anyone recommend any other Desktop enviroments to try in ubuntu 10.10?

There is Lubuntu. Other than that try Window Managers. Openbox and Awesome are two of my favorites.

E17 is utterly amazing, very old, but still years ahead of anything out there. Kind of unstable. LXDE is nice, but its very limited in what it can do. Blackbox, then there is Awesome DE. I am personally finding love for KDE slowly but surely again.

What would be the best way to try out and experiment with new DE's? Installing VM Ware?

if I install 6 different desktop environments is it gonna make any trouble or can I simply switch between them like I do with kde and gnome

How can you switich between KDE and Gnome? Wont that harm your system at all? Is it possible to have two different DE's running at the same time? I thought that would bugger Ubuntu up on some level, or at least make it slow and bloated..

I have tried installing kde on my lucid remix and you are right. It went slow. Maybe having multi-DE is too hard for netbook's specs. I don't know

I am using Xmonad as my tiling window manager, which has a very minimal user experience. Everything can be configured using a Haskell script, which means you can change almost any aspect of the window manager. The applications I am using are mostly from Gnome. I would advise trying this out, it's great!
