I have installed FXCE as the desktop, but have not yet switched to it. IceWM is a bit plain.
I found this as well, but even after installing lxde and e17, I wasn't able to come up with an easy way to switch them (regardless of the changes I made, I keep getting icewm). gdm is available in the repo, but it doesn't seem to work (I just get a black screen).
Did you start with the image at http://www.zq1.de/~bernhard/linux/ opensuse/ - or is there another image I should be looking at? The repo this image uses is missing a few libraries, and while I can build them, if there's a better image to use, I'd rather start there.
Ultimately, I'd like to get mopidy and xbmc running on it, along with having it operate as a cheap Ethernet->Wifi router for devices that are not wifi capable (or where I might want to use a separate channel from my standard house wifi).
Yes, that is the image I downloaded to start the process. I installed kdm and I thought I set it as the window manager, and I selected xfce in the sysconfig editor in YaST, but I still get IceWM. I have not devoted a lot of time to sorting that out. The Pi should do what you want; however, I'm not sure how fast it will be. On the Pi, I used driver r8188eu and got a maximum of about 12 Mbps running netperf to a wired server. That compares with 40 Mbps with the same device/driver on my x86_64 laptop. I suspect that the USB system on the Pi is slow. When you also use the ethernet port, which also goes through USB, it may be really limited.
