Hi guys,

Im about to put Linux (Suse 9.2) on my ultra-portable laptop. This laptop is only a 1GHz Transmeta cpu with only 256MB ram. I currently use KDE on my other computer, but that macheine is much faster.

What GUI would still be user freindly but so resource hungry? I have had a good look at xfce but it doesnt really appeal to me all that much.

what would u guys recommend? ICE-WM? XFCE? FVWM? WindowMaker? Blackbox? Fluxbox?


i have read up on soooo many, which is the most popular or these? Which one do you think i should use (i want to use one with lots of customability and support).

cheers

P.s. Just to make things a little harder, im currently swaying towards either ICE-WM or WindowMaker.

fluxbox is superfast and very configurable.

Hey,

I'm with odious1, fluxbox is a great choice. I've also used XFCE, but it's strange and rather ugly file manager tends to scare me a bit. Fluxbox has more of that minimalist good feeling to it

Fluxbox would be my choice, though I think XFCE aint too bad.

I personally prefer enlightenment to all listed, but it's not there so Flux got my vote.

lightweight but with excellent eye candy potential.

Fluxbox here too.

Definitely Fluxbox, for me anyway. I used to run Gnome, then I tried Fluxbox, and have been using it ever since.
