besides gnome and kde?

Gnome and Kde are good but too large. Is there anything much smaller but still considered good?:cool: :p

Fluxbox. Minimal, fast, and you can make it look darn snappy.

You do have to be comfortable editing text files. That is how you change menu items, look and feel, etc. No GUI conf. tools (as far as I know).

I've been using IceWM on my laptop (w/a total of 775MB hard drive) and it takes up very little space and can even look perrty :)

Take a look at FVWM:

This is based on the old tvm code that was distributed along with Gnome and KDE as desktop managers with a publication edition of RH 6.1

I've always liked the lack of clutter with tvm and I think that's a good foundation to build on.

Take a look at Xfce3, very light, stable, fast, and still has functionality.
