LXDE is very fast (really refreshing !) - its Task Manager shows 110 MB RAM consumption after DE startup; I could not believe, that's 1/3 of what others take up front. It has very lean and quick apps (accessories, graphics, system utilities). You can customize it as well (Preferences are more than sufficient; sometimes on a lew level, but e.g. 'man date' allows you to adjust your date/time format very quickly). Administration menu is also familiar (and can be extended by installing whatever you wish from GUI system-* packages). The only external thing I needed was fonts configuration, which improved many apps considerably. Here is what you need (you can improve if you wish on your own). $ cat .fonts.conf <?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hinting" > <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle" > <const>hintslight</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="antialias" > <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font" > <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" > <const>rgb</const> </edit> </match> </fontconfig> That's it !
