Desktop Environment
While full Desktop Environments like KDE or GNOME run well on the Eee, some people prefer a more minimal desktop environment or just a window manager. Here are some of our users' choices.
Minimal xorg
Whichever Window Manager / Desktop Environment you choose, you need Xorg as well. For a minimal Xorg install for the Eee we suggest:
apt-get install xinit xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-input-synaptics xserver-xorg-input-kbd xserver-xorg-input-mouse xfonts-base
Window Managers / Desktop Environments
- GNOME: you may want to install gnome-core rather than the whole of gnome to save space
- KDE: similarly, consider kde-core
LXDE : Lightwight desktop environment fit for the need of the EeePC
ratpoison: Keyboard driven window manager with no window borders or title bars, Keybindings very similar to screen(1)
flwm: Fast and Light Window Manager (the name says it all)
[wiki:Awesome_(window_manager) awesome]: fast and light tiling window manager
System Tray / Panel
trayer: Lightweight system tray from the FVWM-Crystal project and based on fbpanel. (In comparison to fbpanel a system tray only)
fbpanel: Lightweight panel (Taskbar, System Tray)
stalonetray: Lightweight system tray
