Any light weight windows manager will be good. I use Fluxbox. Some prefer Ratpoison, FWM, etc. There's even a guide on the wiki to not use a windows manager at all.<br><br>(<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Frontend_Auto_Login#No_Window_Manager">
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Frontend_Auto_Login#No_Window_Manager</a>)<br><br>Best to avoid GNOME or KDE for a dedicated Mythbox. You don't use their functionality and they're usually more resource hungry by comparison. It depends on who you are too. Sometimes it's better to use what you know.
