Don't need no graphical file manager.
Don't need no icons to start apps.
Don't need no system tray.
Don't need no buncha crap.
Don't want viruses or cookies or popups.
Have P4 3.2 + 9800XT, 1 gig memory
===>
Fluxbox
Desktop 1 w/ 4 gnome terminals & Gbuffy.
Desktop 2 w/ Firefox full screen.
Sometimes keep Pan, WinVNC, and Gaim running minimized for long time.
Just play all multimedia with mplayer from command line.
Everything else (OpenOffice, Gimp) is transitory.
Sometimes I'll set up a little dev environment for a while.
Who needs anything else?
