CDE isn't too bad. Its certainly much better than gnome in this

plans to do away with it.

Blackbox would work, I think. It certainly is minimalist. My only
question, not having used it, is does it provide the "normal" window
handling widgets on the top of the window. It _appears_ to from the

Yeah, that would be a big help. Presumably we have to have some
lightweight browser (no idea what we'd use) to help out with managing
because a lot of "sysadmin" tools are web based these days. (Not that
I'm particularly fond of that approach.)
