Hi, my netbook is a ~5 years old Acer One with Atom processor, 1 GB memory and 150 GB HDD.
The history of used configuration is: 1) Debian Lenny KDE3 2) repartition and fresh install of Squeze + Gnome2 With Gnome2 I was very happy and the PC was good performing. 3) Upgrade to Wheezy + Gnome3 Ooops. Not performing on this hardware good enough, too often reaching the limits. But even worse is the bad usability of Gnome3. That's why I tried 4) Install XFCE without removing Gnome, because I need the convenience of the network-manager (I use the netbook in a dozen different locations/networks) It's still slow. And some features of the graphical design are missing, which have an impact on usability, e.g. the active tab in gedit is not highlighted. What should I do? a) use my heavy Lenovo Laptop (+2.3kg), wide-screen, multicore, 4 GB (has already Squeeze with KDE) b) try to tune XFCE on the Acer One c) buy a new small, powerful, lightweight Lenovo (I like the nibble:-) Alternatives a) and c) do not solve the pain of choosing a "good enough" desktop environment for Debian Wheezy.
