Anywho, I just switched to an Arch/XFCE setup on my main rig (was going to go Arch/wmII, but no dual head compatibility :/ - wmII is lovely, apart from that.) - and I must say, XFCE is even more polised thanI remember it being. It's a very nice, and light, window manager - with brilliant dual monitor support to boot.

Arch/XFCE would be a good start, I think. Again, I think we should be looking at a light base, but with a huge numer of tools.

Also, I think we should look into giving the ability to have a script that does most of what we want, that can look for a USB stick, to grab configurations and stuff. That would make for a nice customisable live-CD.
Arch/xfce is what my version is going to be The Larch scripts have an option to make a live usbstick instead of cd.

Someone gimme a PM if you need any help with anything (except artwork, I suck at artwork)
Will do Jester. There is only i686 scripts available but 64bit does work apparently.

Just installed xmonad in a mish-mash with XFCE. Amazing. It really suits my style of use.

I'm in love with XFCE. I installed Suse on my sister's laptop (256MB RAM, 1.4GHz Sempron), and with KDE, it was as slow as vista on my dad's Compaq. I fired up XFCE not expecting much of a performance boost, but I was surprised. It definitely is much faster as a DE than other "regulars."

Ok I have them made but where should I host them? Most of the images are above 1Mb so I can't host them on photobucket. I'll upload a .rar file that contains all of them to filebeam.com for now but I want to find a better place where I can host them individually without them being taken down in a month due to inactivity.

Here's the link.
