Like the LXDE setup. After a blackout which took to long for the UPS, I rebooted and found at halfway choices a new window choice. Apart from the two usual KDE choices, I could choose LXDE or KDE Blackbox. As I am really looking for a light window manager I was wondering if somebody has some figures/comparison between the various WM products. KDE Blackbox has some of the features I had made in LXDE and seem lighter than the normal KDE. Which part is still KDE? How does it differ from LXDE? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE on a Pentium III , powered by openSUSE 11.2 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop LXDE Development Platform:... 13:42pm up 18:50, 3 users, load average: 0.88, 1.83, 2.45 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+help@opensuse.org

it's simply KDE with kwin replaced by blackbox (but it should be openbox indeed?!). i.e. only the window manager is changed. the rest (plasma in KDE4 and all background processes) is still running. comparing that with LXDE you could also compare KDE and GNOME. my 2 cts. -- Lutz Thuns openSUSE Official Member (lOtz1009) openSUSE LXDE Team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+help@opensuse.org

I do not want to compare window managers but thought that LXDE said to be fast and to have a light footprint. Working on a Pentium III makes me aware that I have to be careful with KDE but was surprised to see all goodies back with KDE Openbox. Is it as heavy on my hardware as KDM or are there differences?. -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE on a Pentium III , powered by openSUSE 11.2 (i586) Kernel: 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop LXDE Development Platform:... 16:11pm up 1 day 23:45, 3 users, load average: 3.48, 3.17, 3.19 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-lxde+help@opensuse.org
