Dear Hamara Hackers.<br>
Your's truely and Vik have been having a discussion on a low memory
alternative and which is also accessible and easy to grasp.<br>
I suggested Mate and he wished as you see in the forwarded email
that we discuss it on the mailing list.<br>
I urge all of you to base your views on realistic grounds and not on
probable extra eferts which may be needed or personal favorites.<br>
Read the discussion below and we can discuss further.<br>
happy hacking.<br>

I think we should put it to the community and have an lxde vs mate
discussion.
I would be happy to drop lxde if mate can work on the raspberry pi and
other SBC's.
