A 'bit'?? It runs 10 times around Gnome.

:-) Yes a 'bit'. I didn't hear any swooshing sounds. My hair wasn't swept back in the wind and flashing light.

I did notice that it was faster. A bit. :-)

It's probably because I don't use Linux enough to feel the difference...Could be my hardware? Don't know...

Hm, here it sounds like that Star Wars TIE Fighter sound :-D

Think I'll try it on my Parallels installation of Ubuntu :-) I always liked XFCE. I remember using it under my Slackware installation on an old Compaq laptop which didn't have a CD-ROM. The great thing about Slackware was that it was modular, so you downloaded the floppy images for the components you wanted. Ahhh memories... ;-)

I've always been a lazy fart, I tried the first 'user friendly' Linux distro, yes, from Corel. :lol:
Wasn't impressed by it though. (but I was most definately impressed by BeOS :-) )

For those not interested in all the bloat that Ubuntu insists on being bundled with (I only need one text editor, thank you! ;-)), I can recomend the LiveCD version of Mandriva One 2008.

The LiveCD (not LiveDVD, which is as full of unneccesary stuff as Ubuntu is), only contains an office package, a web browser, and some other tools and utilities.

Now, if only CCP could make a decent Linux version of EVE, so that I don't have to use WINE...
