Hello, here are some of my thoughts: Chromium looks really odd and alien on linux, and Midori is unstable, so I say stick with FF.Claws-mail is really good and lightweight, it will be a good thunderbird replacement.Exaile is not bad but I like (the new) Audacious a lot.It has a beautiful gtk interface and is the most lightweight player I have seen. Also, has lightdm ever been considered?It seems to be awesome and much lighter then gdm.Lxdm is good too. -Glenn
