yes..

i think, i gave option to check more than one option!!?
i sometimes use kde, but now in my machine only xfce.

xfce users equals with fluxbox users.

kde. Sastisifed with it and never had the urge to try anything else.

KDE/XFCE on one system and XFCE on an older laptop, both running Slack 12 smoothly like a swiss watch.

This is different from the choice awards because the polled population is Slackware users not all Linux users.

I use fluxbox. I've tried pretty much all the window managers and desktop environments, and I think this is the most balanced one. It's light, fast, and still looks good. What more could I want ?

(I use ROX as a file manager, also very good)

I use KDE on newer hardware, mostly because it's so tweakable and the eye candy isn't bad. On older hardware that runs KDE too slowly for my tastes, I use Fluxbox, because it's light, simple, nice looking,easy to configure, and does the trick.

I like Xfce, but I tend toward Fluxbox for lighter weight environments because I know it better and prefer its interface.

And I can't stand GNOME. It seems like every new release they've oversimplified things even more and removed more and more functionality. Eventually it won't do anything, I imagine, if they keep going down this road. But that's why I don't use it.

KDE, XFCE, and Blackbox but that is only on the server

C, Perl, Gtk+ & simple, natural DE => Xfce

It isn't dead, it's rock-stable. That nothing has changed since 2006 means that nothing needed to change. It's a Very Good Thing for a window manager.

My setup is similar to gnashley's except I use IceWM and don't have any eyecandy to entertain a 4 year old.

When I tried fluxbox, it kept getting in the way of what I needed to do. That doesn't happen when I use wmaker or IceWM.

I have been using UDE for about two years now and find it very satisfactory.

I checked both kde and fluxbox because I use both. Lately, though, I find myself using fluxbox more because of the speed and simplicity and I can still use my kde apps. I also like the plain text config files. I prefer simplicity more than eye candy.

Well, I voted for XFCE, 'cause that is what I'm using now, but disk space is cheap & I have both KDE & GSlacky installed. There are a couple of KDE & Gnome apps that I want to run.

I like short cut keys and right-click menus and fluxbox was easy to set up for both. I don't like icons on my desktop but I do like that fluxbox stays out of the way now that I have it configured the way that I like.

Very much like gilead said, I don't need bells and whistles on my desktop; the only icon I have now (KDE) is the trash bin, and mainly due to me not bothering to remove it yet.

I started with KDE a long while ago but moved quickly to Fluxbox when I realized my hardware (at the time) wasn't up to the task. I loved Fluxbox, even enough to use it on this little speed demon of a machine. It was lightweight, didn't give me anything I didn't need, was infinitely customizable, and provided me with the GUI control that Slackware itself awarded me over the CLI.

I installed KDE with Slackware 12 and am pleased that a lot of the bloat has been removed, and am looking forward to KDE4 where memory usage is even less. I still have it minimalistic as possible, but it provides the opportunity to have exactly the extra bells and whistles I may one day find myself wanting. That, and I figured I'd better start getting used to it if I'm going to set up an "anyone can use" computer for the house with it.

Neato. I just might have to try that out on an older machine of mine I've been meaning to rebuild. Thanks for the link!

XFCE + ROXFiler most of the time, fluxbox when I feel like a change.
