after going thru many answers on list and googling, xfce turns out to be my choice.My box - Pentium-I, 166MHz, 32MB RAM. My distro - Debian Woody 3r0. Desktop - XFce Office - StarOffice 5.2 (start/stop is slow) Browser - Galeon / Dillo Mailer - SylpheedNoticed that OpenOffice is damn slow even on a high-end machine ... If I am running, say Gnumeric or Evolution, should that cause more load on the system? I think GNOME applications will start other services like CORBA server and so on ... same for KDE? But that will be better off than OpenOffice or StarOffice, I think.
on my p-3 , 128 MB, tons of daemons and gnome, openoffice was terribly slow, and even mozilla with around 10 tabs was a pain.
but with xfce3, opening openoffice is breeze even with many open applications like mozilla, gimp, and evolution.
