LXDE, the New Lightweight Linux Desktop

,----[ Quote ]
| LXDE (the Lightweight X11 Desktop 
| Environment) is new to the Linux desktop 
| scene, having been launched in 2006. It aims 
| to provide a fully-functional desktop 
| environment whilst being as lightweight as 
| possible, to both speed up your desktop and 
| reduce its environmental impact (by using 
| less CPU and RAM). A quick-and-dirty 
| benchmark courtesy of the LXDE edition of 
| Linux Mint indicates that it measures up 
| pretty well on speed and RAM usage. In the 
| third of my series on desktop alternatives, 
| I took a look at it to see how it shapes up 
| from the user's point of view.

Linux Mint 8 âLXDEâ Edition Review

,----[ Quote ]
| This is a great release from the Mint team.
| It's fast, built on the rock solid Linux
| Mint core and pleasing to the eye. There
| are more than enough applications available
| to suit anyone and customization options
| are easy to use and plentiful.
|
| Pro's:
|
|     * Very fast thanks to LXDE and Openbox
|     for the desktop.
|     * Excellent selection of software.
|     * Visually attractive with plenty of
|     customization options.
|     * Easy to use for a new user.
|
| Con's:
|
|     * We would have preferred to see
|     AbiWord instead of OpenOffice installed
|     by default.
