Yes, those were helpful links :)

I always liked XFCE, and it runs pretty well on BSD too.

There are a couple of other boards that you might like:

Cool. I'm glad they were helpful! :)

Thanks for those links you gave, too.

I like XFCE a lot, because it doesn't get in my way (nor does it fill up my screen), it's very configurable, it works well with my hardware, and keyboard shortcuts work out well with it. Plus, it's fast and doesn't use a lot of resources, and doesn't try to be user-friendly and graphic intensive at the cost of performance, configurability, and speed of use.

I liked Debian, GnewSense, and Ubuntu with Gnome before Ubuntu switched to Unity, but I think I like XFCE even better than the older Gnome now (although I hadn't always). I used to just use XFCE when I had to, due to my computers being slow (but now I'd use it even on a top-of-the-line computer). Puppy Linux is fun to play with, but it's been a while since I've used it.
