[PD] PD extended, Linux 64 & 32 bits

[Bernardo Barros]

I prefer KDE for desktop everyday usage. When I need more performance
I use OpenBox.
It is really minimal and customizable with an clean autostart script
where you can tell what you want.

I don't really like Xcfe because it compromises the desktop and it is
not as minimal as OpenBox.
It is good if you have an very old machine.
