Speaking of lightwieght desktop, I think I recently read something about an upcoming or recently released kernel that's supposed to improve the responsivness of desktop apps for linux users, I don't know the particulars, but it seems like there's a lot of exciting refinments in linux and OSS in general latley

Thumbs up to the penguin

LXDE is the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment.  It's suppose to be gnome
friendly in that
all/most apps can run without downloading the gnome underbelly.  But much
lighter than XFCE.Chad, CISSP

Do a google for lubuntu to find out more as lubuntu joins the WM set this
october
