Which person on this forum use lxde as primary desktop manager?
 

I have tried this desktop manager some time ago, for me look very promising for the good balance between the use of few resource and is feautures, but i have had some problems, so in the end i used it only for few times and for test.
Now is ready?
Sooner or later i must update one partition where i have ubuntu 8.04, give that on that pc i have few ram and i haven't any intention of add futher ram on it, i was thinking to use:
lxde as desktop manager
and as backup:
icewm as window manager

Note:
I'm very happy using icewm but sometimes i like have something more nice without consume too much resource.
Xfce isn't a real alternative despite use a little less resource respect gnome and also i don't like it.

I have used LXDE ever since KDE4 moved into Debian sid. Tried kde4 for maybe 30 minutes, then I installed lxde and purged kde.

I am using LXDE because of its speed, the xfce DE takes a much time (nearly 35 seconds) to get me logged in as compared to LXDE which only takes (1 second).

I am still clueless whether the logo of Xfce is a rabbit, a dog or a mouse. The shape is confusing ;)

Have used LXDE a time, its very fast and stable, never had problems with it. Switched to Openbox to make some sort of my own DE with assembling parts from XFCE and LXDE. I would recommend to switch from Ubuntu 8.04 to Debian Squeeze, this way you will have low resource usage and newer LXDE then in Ubuntu 8.04 repositories.

I'm using LXDE now, was using KDE 3.5.10 then tried KDE4.x (way to heavy) and went to LXDE. I don't see any reason to go back to KDE as LXDE is so much faster for me.

I'm using LXDE in a Knoppix 6.2.1 2Gb SanDisk USB setup.

I find this USB approach to be a cheap, easy and safe way
to dual-boot Linux on my Dell 1545 Inspiron,
which otherwise runs Windows 7.
