LXDE, Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment, is a desktop
environment which is lightweight and fast. It is designed to be user
friendly and slim, and keep the resource usage low. LXDE uses less RAM
and less CPU while being a feature rich desktop environment. Unlike
other iphone photography
tightly integrated desktops LXDE strives to be modular, so each
component can be used independently with few dependencies. This makes
porting LXDE to different distributions and platforms easier.
A good starting point is the General Information page, where you find information on system requirements and compatibility. You also find an overview of distributions including LXDE with installation instructions, plus more general installation instructions, information on LXDE components and our future plans on the wiki. More about LXDE on the lxde.org website, the LXDE blogs, and in the LXDE forum.
Here is a complete LXDE setup guide from the creator of LXDE.
