What Linux desktop do you use currently?

Xfce4

I find this site very interesrting. http://www.gilesorr.com/wm/index.html
Especially the bloodlines and Memory Usage Charts.
In my quest to seek the smallest yet usable, I am currently using SithWM.
Except I don't have a Windows Key so I changed the rc file to use Alt.
SithWM came from evilwm which I had used back in the days. I have always been mouse challenged.
Not to fret. I would not consider to make SithWM the default. It is just my current fling.

creating a "bespoke" system by simply installing the apps that they want.

that's why i like Tiny. i wanted a system to be whatever i want it to be, and not be whatever the others want it to be. download only the base and do whatever you want with it. one of my tinies (on the crappy laptop), is set-up as "chromeOS". the base core system, a browser (chromium), alsa for sound, and (an optional) filemanager (pcman). nothing else. for it's intended use (just internet browsing), yes, this is a "turn-key" linu(ks).

Its not just that you can build a customized system... but that it is so easy.
The delight is mine - not only do I get a "distribution" that suits me well with a "desktop" that suit me well, but I get it "to go" and there's a certain validation of philosophy that goes the other way too... It is -not- the "natural state" of things to have to tolerate bloat and someone else's choice of apps and I'm not a weirdo for wanting it my way(*).
In case I've neglected to say it recently - Thank you roberts and Team TinyCore!.
As for desktop/window manager: JWM is my choice because it offers plenty of configurability and looks enough like MS windows to not hurt the brain too much when I have to switch back and forth between the two (I use Windows at work).
I had the idea that whenever I get a netbook (with limited vertical screen real estate) I would switch to FLWM (with the title bars on the sides of the windows), but it looks less and less like I'll end up with such new toys any time soon. :(

Yabbut they don't list flwm-topside. :)
(*)... but I may be a weirdo for something else. ;)

Hi Lee

I think flwm-topside was created by MikeLockmoore by modifying flwm and may be unique to Tinycore.
