I am in the middle. I am a CLI user, and I run a window manager. not a DE. But I am forced to have gnome on, hence it would benefit if I could get some low resource DE such as xfce. xubuntu is really fast, but I am sticking to FC for now since i have a good handle on it. Of course, hoping that things will change (forlorn hope, maybe). With due respect, you should offer a spin on a lightweight DE: not necessarily XFCE but that has now matured sufficiently to be reasonably comparable with gnome. People who use linux either care about efficiency and/or have low-resource machines. Best, trotter
Too late! The developers have newer/shinier hardware than your/my lowly boxen and have been seduced and succumb to all that glitters.
