Hi folks. which is best desquetop to use with buntu studio?

[Andrew Huys]

My personal opinion leans toward XFCE instead of GNOME3 or Unity, due to 
the simple fact that it uses less system resources.  On my favorite 
image editing laptop (Lenovo T60p) I only have 1.83 Centrino Duo and 2GB 
RAM, so less is more.

As far as ease of use, I'd vouch for XFCE, although I do use GNOME3 on 
my ArchLinux IBM T43.

Xfce is much more configurable than GNOME3, a plus for me.  You can make 
it look like M$Windows, OSX (using AWN or Docky), Unity, GNOME2 etc.
