I use Ubuntu 8.10 with its default desktop environment, Gnome with avant window navigator+compiz fuzion+emerald, it runs very well on my first PC (Intel E4300+2GB RAM+GF7300LE). But not on my 7 years old PC (Athlon 2200 XP+512MB RAM+GF 5200). Things go slow motion :) not that worse, but it's pain to endure especially during my multi windows-multi tasking session.
So, I think I'll use XFCE on this old machine. From what I read XFCE is resources-friendlier than KDE and Gnome.
Before I come to this decision I have a slight hesitation onto what my desktop going to look like. To make things clear I jump to xfce.org and they have these nice screenshots of XFCE, not bad me thinks. So decision made, XFCE it is.
Yes I know I can disable awn and compiz to speed things up, but hey where's the adventure in that?
I am writing this post while downloading the needed files for XFCE installation. So wait for updates on this. Stay tune.
