Red hat 8.0

[Jason Stephenson]

I use it on my laptop and don't really care. I'm not into pretty GUI 
things for the most part, so it doesn't bother me. I don't use my laptop 
enough to bother changing it. Though, I do have my root desktop very 
simple: no window manager and a xterm as the controlling process.

On my workstation, I use blackbox which is about as minimal as a window 
manager gets. It just manages windows and has a simple menu syntax for 
creating root menus to start your apps. Very CLI-friendly.
