 From my experience with Window managers form the last few weeks, I 
wouldn't recommend xfce as Window Manager for use in an internet cafe:
1) The speed gain compared to gnome isn't very high
2) It's awfully buggy

But I can recommend ICEWM. It's a fast, stable windowmanager. The thing 
I don't like is that the menu has to be configured all by yourself, 
because ICEWM doesn't import debian-menu like xfce. But if you only need 
to run firefox, you can easaly autostart it and there are also a lot of 
menueditor's for icewm!!!

Oh and I nearly forgot, there's somebody building a lite version of 
Ubuntu, but it's still in test phase. I just had a look at my personal 
archives and the quicksearch failed. So I'm sorry I can't give you more 
detailed information. But when I got a bit more time than right in the 
moment, I can search for it again, if you're interested!

Best regards,

Rainer
