Ubuntu Gutsy still is my fav choice. Although, this looks promising.

LXDE if definitely nice but need much more work before it will be perfectly attractive and usable. Until then KDE will rule my world.

As they say…. there just no accounting for taste. I like the desktop icon just as is. I use LXDE as a lightweight alternative to KDE. Got a copy of Debian 5.0 with LXDE as my initial exposure. Also didn’t know the story of PCMan, thanks.

LXDE is nice. It has a brighter future than the slightly stripped down gnome aka xfce.

Xfce sucks, use gnome, or kde, and when it comes to low resources or preference, then lxde in place of xfce…thank you!

Greg, thanks for testing LXDE. You are right by saying that people can get involved into development, designing and translating LXDE easily. We are a relatively small, but already a pretty international community. And we are very welcoming also to newcomers. Please get involved. I put up a few ideas how interested contributors can get into the project here: http://join.lxde.org.

[...] LXDE 0.4.2 Review and Screenshot Tour I am a big fan of light desktop environments. Well, most people looking for a lighter alternative normally settle for a lightweight window manager, such as Fluxbox or AwesomeWM. [...]

It makes quite a bit of sense for a distro that loads into and runs from RAM to use a desktop environment that uses minimal system resources. To me, the nicest thing about LXDE is that he LXpanel can be configured with a graphical application and one does not need to edit an XML file in ordered to get desired functionality from the panel.

Hericky, LXDE uses Openbox as the default window manager.
