[vox-tech] Window Managers

Actually, the problem with vnc is a bit different than the problem of
minimal system resources. (ram/cpu) You might be better off going with
the standard gnome install, but selecting visual settings that are
easily compressed for vnc. Go to System > Preferences > Appearance. Mist
is a fairly lightweight (visually) theme. Set the background to a solid
color. Change the fonts to Monochrome. (If you can stand it anyway.) You
might also disable the display of icons on the desktop.

Set the number of workspaces to only one and removing the workspace
switcher will help also.
