Hence the OLPC project and the netbook industry in general. An up to date OS that is capable of making these low end hardware useful is most certainly appreciated by many who can't afford a more high end computer. what about those countries where low end hardware is all that is available.

You can use Xfce to do it! As a matter of fact, that's what I'm running right now. It's lightweight and somewhat minimal while still being efficient and Compiz-Fusion works well with it! KDE4 slows things down too much on my system, and I dislike the menu-based interface that Gnome uses (it isn't confusing, just an eyesore), not to mention the fact that Gnome also slows things down too much. However, Xfce works beautifully with Compiz-Fusion. I just start fusion-icon manually after logging in (eye candy is good, but I don't want it on 100% of the time), and it is already configured to start with Compiz as the window manager. rpgfan3233 - running Fedora 9 (Sulphur) x86-64 You don't need Gnome or KDE for Compiz-Fusion.
