If you're really only interested in Xfce vs. LXDE, I'd go with Xfce -- but only because it should be less of a memory hog & I doubt you'll miss much from its heavier cousin. Honestly though, either would probably work fine. Or hey, give OpenBox a crack. :) (Be warned I'm a keyboard junkie, so my love of OpenBox mig…
