[Lilug] Distro Question - Debian

[iN8sWoRld.net]

I use Gnome 3 on my Ubuntu machines, MATE on my Mint machines, and i3
on my Arch box. i3 is a tiling window manager and not for the faint of
heart, but on a laptop its very handy since you can do most things
without a mouse - takes some getting used to.
