    Even if I am not using an environment short of CPU or memory (1600
MHz, 512Kb), I switched to XFCE and I am very happy.  Everything is
just lighter.  Occasionally I start nautilus because I do actually do
not like very much the current XFCE file manager -- but I do not use
file managers much, I am more an Emacs & command line person.
