Hello
I am setting up a Asus netbook for Pure Data/Gem/pidip and would like to not load the hoggish unity or even gnome seems to slow this little guy down. Can linux users suggest a window manager that might serve me best for this purpose.
Thank you in Advance.

Fluxbox and Blackbox are what I would call "recognisable as window managers" They do the basic things you expect, mouse menus, workspaces, themes, backgrounds and so forth... and occupy a couple hundred kilobytes.
Actually usable as proper serious desktop WM with a bit of customisation. Definitely appropriate for RPi or minimal systems where the standard bloatware is just too heavy.

LXDE: It comes e.g. with Raspbian for the Raspberry Pi and is really usable, Lubuntu is the Ubuntu variant with it. It used GTK as default tookit.
XFCE: My favourite, I am using it on a 1 GHz one core Pentium 4 with Debian, and works really fast. The Ubuntu variant is called Xubuntu. Toolkit: GTK.
Fluxbox: really lightweight, have not used in in years.
Other lightweight WMs, that I have briefly tested, but not really used: Englightenment, Openbox, Window Maker.
HTH, Thomas

I use TWM on Arch Linux but it's very basic

Unity is fine. We use it in L2Ork without any notable problems...

I have a little Asus with an atom processor and my Gem patches are noticeably faster with fluxbox so far. Anything quicker still?
