"Thanks for your suggestions.
Lxde is in actual fact a good idea, but using a simple window manager with
low cpu usage might be better. An issue with lxde might be the presence of
too many applications which may be replaced or not needed. For example wicd
could replace lxnm, and htop could replace lxtask. Lxlauncher may not be
needed for a basic os. I was going to propose roxterm instead of lxterminal."
LXDE is perfectly light enough in my opinion, and has good features. This is
2010; the number of computers out there that are so old they even show
distinction between OpenBox and FluxBox performance are very few. You have a
point about wicd. LxLauncher on the other hand is precisely the kind of
application that is useful for netbooks. lxterminal and roxterm are both
lightweight terminals, so there's no particularly strong difference there.
"As far as multimedia is concerned, i was opting more for an all-in one app,
with large multimedia support, instead of using separate apps for audio and
video. That would also take away the need for lxmusic."
I don't know of a lightweight app that plays both videos and audio; audio
decoding and video rendering are two very different things beneath the
surface, so applications that perform both tasks well are heavyweight almost
by implication. But lxmusic isn't as developed as XMMS2 AFAIK. It should be
replaced with XMMS2.
