I've been using E for quite a while.  It's slick, but don't expect a 
faster desktop.  I'd say it's probably the slowest wm I've seen, but 
then it's got a lot of bells and whistles.  You highly configurable, so 
you can turn off a lot of the stuff that affects the speed, but then you 
might as well run sawfish. :)  Things like windows sliding in and such. 
  I immediately turned off tooltips.  It doesn't slow things down, just 
those 'clouds' seemed to get in my way.

Can't help you with the rest of this stuff below, sorry.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
