Hi Andres,

I'm using Blackbox, which seems to have a much lower overhead than Gnome or KDE.  I have not made
any attempt to measure/quantify the difference, but I have read that it uses less system resources
than those two.  In order to configure Blackbox, you'll need also to install something like bbconf
or whitebox (I'm using bbconf).

Definitely no-frills!
