I have not tried it personally yet. There are ISOs for Wheezy using the XFCE desktop. I dropped Gnome a few years ago and haven't looked back. 64 bit: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.4.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-7.4.0-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso 32 bit: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.4.0/i386/iso-cd/debian-7.4.0-i386-xfce-CD-1.iso PPC: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/7.4.0/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-7.4.0-powerpc-xfce-CD-1.iso I think you'll find XFCE simple, lightweight, and fast. Much closer to what you're used to with Gnome 2. Flash does work on Wheezy. You need to add the non-free repo, here's a good walkthrough: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/debian-linux-7-wheezy-install-flash-player/ I use flash on my Wheezy box (amd64) without issues. It does seem to work better in Chrome than iceweasel. Brian
