Re: Debian Desktop Environment



I agree with several other comments with regards to security not being necessarily related to a specific desktop environment. In my opinion I think the best security comes from using both a Linux distribution and a desktop environment that you (or the admin) is very familiar with and understands configuration issues related to security. I believe if someone uses the "distro of the day" you are more likely to overlook something.

For whatever it may be worth my personal choice is usually LXDE on Debian. LXDE is pretty straight forward to configure and is seems fairly frugal with its use of resources. Outside of a server environment my main Linux machine is an older laptop. With LXDE and a solid state disk even a dual-core machine is very responsive.
