For those that use gui, what is your favorite desktop?
Last night I decided to load up Dropline Gnome and it is pretty damned slick.

Has anyone heard anything about about this flavor of desktop, other than good? I checked out their forum and it pretty sparse, but full of everyone falling over themselves in expressing their joy for dropline.
Their installer is super simple (though you can opt to do it manually)... When I installed it this morning their servers were down for maintenance (~1-2am)... so I had just let their net installer run and try to connect. I passed around the 7th attempt, and woke up not knowing if it had installed or not (it was at the main menu)... I was in a rush to get to work and tried to open a terminal window and Gnome had generated an error (I was worried that perhaps something had gone wrong)... so I shutdown and went to work. At work I booted the machine and started the desktop and it was dropline gnome... it had installed successfully!... I have played with it for about an hour and it is pretty pimpy... I would love to hear if anyone has found another desktop to beat this one :)

Dropline GNOME is a version of the GNOME Desktop that has been tweaked for Slackware Linux systems. It is available in Slackware's standard .tgz package format, in addition to the usual source code. The current release is based off of the latest GNOME 2 distribution from the GNOME Project.
