XFCE is the closest-looking to Gnome. I like LXDE a lot, but i do not
like the LXpanel. FVWM-Crystal or plain FVWM are good for me, but not
for my mother. To be sincere, FVWM-Crystal is not very comfortable.

There are others like Afterstep, but there one needs some skill and
knowledge to use it properly. It is beautiful but not for me. To me
Afterstep is twice as stressing as Windows XP.

I managed to install EDE, but its menus are not very good, it s fast
and lightweight but I had to do a lot of typing in xterm. But it is
beautiful and interesting.



The *box WMs are also good. I tried Fluxbox, Blackbox, Openbox. Not so
comfortable as XFCE, for a lazy person like me.

JWM, IceWM are good for me, not very comfortable, not good for my mother.

E17 is very beautiful and well-built, but after a few hours of using
heavyweight applications it gets messed up and.....I am going to try
REISUB for this one, also.
