Old Dell PowerEdge 300 server. Installed ubuntu server. Not quite sure what the purpose will ultimately be, but want the option to administer it with VNC, so I need to run X. I used AfterStep years ago with RedHat 7 and that was OK. Don't know if its in the Ubuntu repos. I know WindowMaker and xfce are. I am more interested in the one that delivers better GUI admin tools while keeping it as lightweight as possible. While old, I had tested Novell SLES 10 which comes with Gnome on it, and it ran fine, so it can handle heavier weight GUIs, if necessary. I found xfce to be more heavy weight than powerful. For example, thunar won't do samba unless mounted locally. To do anything serious, I needed to launch something gnome anyway. Please share favorites and suggestions. Attachment:
