I totally agree...I first started using Linux about 4 months ago, and
started out with KDE, as it provided a familiar environment. However,
after a while, I started to notice it did take up some resources that
could have been put to better use (and this was while I still only had 64
meg RAM). Blackbox is faster, and to me just _feels_ more "linux-y."


peace,
