<p>I am very happy here with sidux (Debian sid with some tweaks; www.sidux.com ). I installed the xfce version, but to keep the performance high (very high even) I installed Enlightenment E17 in it which is very low on system resources and makes my Acer Aspire One very fast and smooth-looking. Especially since I use the Ecomorph options now available for E17 (similar to Compiz, with desktop cube, wobbly windows etc.). So lots of eyecandy and showing off without loosing the performance of a light and fast WM. E17 has a netbook mode that switches off some of the more resource-hungry modules but in my experience this is not even really needed. A sober desktop background can help though.</p>
<p>E17 now contains a network manager called exalt, which makes connecting to wifi very simple. A great tool. It stores favorites for different locations so after a first login anywhere I never have to do anything coming back to the same place.</p>
<p>Instructions on how to install E17 in Debian sid are here: <a href="http://www.sidux.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=16300" rel="nofollow">http://www.sidux.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=16300</a></p>
