After listening to the hosts on the Linux Linc Tech Show always talking about XFCE, I decided to try it. It is much lighter weight than Gnome and KDE but still has more than Fluxbox.

I following the instructions posted on the Gentoo Wiki for installing XFCE. I installed XFCE 4.2.3.2 on my work laptop and have been very happy with it. It really seems like a good balance between features and speed. I have been running it for over a week and plan on continuing to use it.
