Because Linus uses it Or maybe not, it seems that he's using GNOME now.

KDE is more "windows-like", and less likely to scare the noobs off.

That said, it's not difficult to get GNOME appearing like Windows with a bit of work, it just that none of the major distros go for that

Why would you even want to look like Windows? We have PCLinuxOS for that.

I don't, but those tentative about leaving Windows for the first time might like KDE.

But I agree that both GNOME & KDE are inappropriate for OCNix

Yes let's keep the forever ongoing battle between KDE and gnome out of here

KDE and Gnome are both too heavy for what OCNix is trying to be. We want this to be a fast-booting liveCD for stability testing, correct?

LXDE or Openbox.

Maybe XFCE but I personally like Openbox the best.

XFCE isn't that much less resource intensive than GNOME. Openbox, definitely. Haven't used it much but I don't see the need to do anything else anyway.

LXDE's window manager is Openbox

Looks like the decision is made then!!

Yes openbox it is. Does someone want to begin working on a theme? I'll cross post this in the thread about "jobs."

I would've voted for GNOME. Could it be an option.
