I would really recommend fluxbox if you've tried it and frozen in fear at the apparently blank screen going '"erk, where are all my lovely widgets and icons" - and that has sent you screaming for the comfort of Gnome or KDE - You don't need 'em, you won't miss 'em. Right-click and it all comes up on one menu. It's beautiful and it doesn't get in the way, it's easy to customise and does what you need it to do. Since I got used to it, everything else seems clunky and over complicated. It's worth geting used to for resource intensive stuff like music making even if you resort back to something else for your office & internet work. God I'm such a chauvinist. tim hall
