Light Desktop Environment for Linux: LXDE (For Ubuntu and Fedora)
,----[ Quote ]
| While XFCE also seems to offer similar
| level of performance enhancement, I would
| prefer LXDE over XFCE for following
| reasons:
|
| * LXDE offers bolder colors and looks a
| tad bit brighter than XFCE.
| * XFCE asked me to unlock the keyring
| every time I logged in, to connect to
| the Wireless, LXDE had its own
| wireless manager interface and it
| didnât bother me with saving/retrieval
| of keyring.

Good and Bads of LXDE
,----[ Quote ]
| LXDE panel also has limitations and it
| takes some time to learn how to adjust to
| LXDE according to one`s needs.
|
| LXDE also lacks a well defined control
| center as is offered by KDE and GNOME and
| this is a real big short coming. Many
| distributions supply custom made tools for
| LXDE management because of lack of a native
| LXDE control center. Openbox is used along
| with LXDE and it helps to overcome many
| shortcomings of LXDE.

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.
