I burnt my bridges when i left, screaming, the last DE I used (it was XFCE, AFAIR), so I can't give you first-hand advice. But I know Debian goes a long way in enabling you to choose and change your environment. Perhaps set up another (throwaway) user accont to try out. That said, I don't want to come across as if I consider DEs to be "something bad": there are many things you'll have to take care of (e.g. don't expect an USB stick to be automatically mounted on insert, be prepared to go shopping or hacking -- I went hacking -- when your LCD brigntness control doesn't do what you want, yadda, yadda). I think it's a deeper problem, But perhaps off-topic here. Cheers -- tomás
