you should try terminator, or guake if you want an "alternate" terminal. |
| 2 |
i am using both in combination (guake in luman-overlay, has applied some |
| 3 |
additional patches) |

lxde/openbox is very nice. slim and slimlock are working fine in |
| 6 |
combination with it. so there is no need for heavy gnome/kde desktops. |

|
| 8 |
if you want your old gnome 2.x dektop back, you should try mate, which |
| 9 |
is a fork of the last gnome 2.x stable branch. (there is mate-overlay) ;) |
