It's indeed way easier to put together the environment by yourself.
For example chose a window manager such as I use, openbox and chose
your favourite panel/s (for Liam likely xfce4-panel, for me a
combination of lxpanel and fbpanel).

I'm aware that Liam is in favour of a specific DE. I'm in favour of
using no DE at all. While some DEs, such as the one favoured by
Liam, aren't that bad, IMO it's still more pleasant to avoid any DE at
all.
