So then: I've had it with the gelded Gnome, hate Unity & don't particularly like KDE4. What other options do I have for a Linux desktop?
@RichardFantin thanks, XFCE is the only alternative I know of. Let's say I want a balanced desktop (kinda what Gnome 2 managed to become)

@asteris .. and then there's Enlightenment (one of my personal favs, but not very standard) -> http://www.linuxfocus.org/common/images/figure29-2.jpg … -
@RichardFantin um, I ditched Enlightenment back before Gnome became functional, was leery of it ever since. Has it markedly improved? -
@asteris Oh yea, ever since 3. All major desktops have come a long ways.. that was long ago man :) Enlightenment was ahead of its time. -
@RichardFantin it was also ahead of resources available :p I'll probably check out all of them, wish I had a live CD that included them all -
@asteris Well yea, that was it's problem. They were trying to implement advanced graphical effects from scratch. Much easier to do now.

@asteris IceWM is another choice, it's even lighter-weight than XFCE but still has a set of tools. Another option is the FVWM style. -
@RichardFantin heh, I remember configuring fvwm2 back in Mosaic times, my 1st desktop ;) Thanks, also on the lookout for newer beasts

@asteris They are script based, and you can find plenty of scripts on the net to config them however you want.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
