Thanks a lot for the link.

Yes, i agree to what you said, stick to wat is working and defaults and i
have been doing that for the almost a decade as Sys Admin! Frankly, i liked
Gnome, but i was sick of the updates that keeps popping up and I have a
network issue in my workplace in the sense that, its not all that advanced,
its a old100Mbps network cabling done over a couple of switches. And, the
design is pretty bad and the quality of cabling is not upto the mark. When i
first came to the office, i revamped the whole network, we detected so many
spoit network cables and replaced them, but there are few things i cannot
change.

I was running Gnome + LTSP on a old AMD64-bit assembled machine and it was
ok. Now i have a new server and after installing the Ubuntu Server 8.04 i
read that Xfce was much lighter than Gnome, so we decided to go ahead with
XUbuntu Desktop. I also checked many other GUI like KDE, Enlightement,
Openbox, Fluxbox etc. The only thing that suits our requirement is either
gnome, KDE or Xfce. I haven't vanilla gnome yet.

I am still testing Xfce, i will try my best to get things working properly
and if it doesn't work, then i will have no choice than to shift to Gnome!

Thanks
Avinash
