[mythtv-users] Which desktop

[Josu Lazkano]

Hello,

I am reinstalling my ION1 frontend, I normally install it with Debian
XFCE. I want to know if someone is using any different desktop and
earn some performance.

In Debian Jessi, if I want to install the basic XFCE desktop I need to
install lots of packages:
