Default Slackware - KDE, XFCE, Blackbox, Fluxbox - which to use?
Yeah.
Reasons?

I don't want a resource heavy one, as in, it'll slow it down HEAVILY.
But really really want sexy and highly compatible with most stuff.
So I'm thinking KDE.
>_>;

But I knows crap about Linux. So. Help meh.

Thats good, even though people say KDE is a hog, its lightening fast on Slackware.

E17 is haaawt...too bad it doesn't like to play with the other kids

I always liked xfce - had an amazing menu system...

Maybe it's just me, but I just can't get used to using KDE - it feels very glassy and very empty at the same time..
