The Linux desktop-a-week review: LXDE
Over the last two weeks I’ve run nothing but LXDE as my primary Linux Desktop Environment (other than a few excursions into Android land). Been using LXDE. Been enjoying LXDE.
But I have practically nothing to really say about LXDE. I feel like, after all this time, I should have something interesting to talk about. But I just plain don’t.
It’s fast, blisteringly fast. And it’s damned lightweight too. After that, things get pretty boring.

LXDE: too boring to comment?
While Brian does mention LXDE as the environment of choice for Raspbian, he neglects to mention it has also been the default for Knoppix for several years, and Knoppix uses LXDE with Compiz as the compositor.
Definitely the best looking LXDE installation default I have seen.
