quite manual..

Hello
I am setting up a Asus netbook for Pure Data/Gem/pidip and would
like to not load the hoggish unity or even gnome seems to slow this
little guy down.
Can linux users suggest a window manager that might serve me best
for this purpose.
LXDE: It comes e.g. with Raspbian for the Raspberry Pi and is really
usable, Lubuntu is the Ubuntu variant with it. It used GTK as default
tookit.
XFCE: My favourite, I am using it on a 1 GHz one core Pentium 4 with
Debian, and works really fast. The Ubuntu variant is called Xubuntu.
Toolkit: GTK.
Fluxbox: really lightweight, have not used in in years.
Other lightweight WMs, that I have briefly tested, but not really
used:
Englightenment, Openbox, Window Maker.
HTH,
Thomas
