When I want a real barebones desktop (say for a VM test) without all the |
11 |
cruft of |
12 |
GNOMNE or KDE, I generally use LXDE |
13 |
|
14 |
emerge ldxe-meta lxdm |
15 |
(two packages, the meta package does not include the desktop manager) |
16 |
|
17 |

18 |
|

Gets most of the useful stuff without committing to all of GNOME or KDE |
20 |
LXDE will run most of the "gtk" based tools found in the app and x11-* |
