Good examples of how to run a desktop system.  The most important point
IMO is the use of a light window manager.  It's easy to do, so I don't
understand all the grief people feel when their distro packages a
default WM they don't like.  Just echo "exec myfavWM" > ~/.xinitrc and
be done with it.

$ time echo "exec myfavWM" > .xinitrc
    0m0.00s real     0m0.00s user     0m0.00s system

Took longer to type.
