Linux Desktops
I'd like to use the minimal install and try some alternates like Blackbox for speed but I would like to know the config of the small distro first so I know what I'm getting into.
Does anyone know of an easy way to switch between desktop environments?
Thanks,
Ne0

Have you looked into the ~/.vnc/xstartup script?

I've attempted to install X/Gnome manually, and it was a pain – just like on a normal machine
-Chris
The only thing I can suggest is, however you start X on a normal system (startx), it reads reads the init file and launches the programs in there (usually your window manager).
You should be using VNCServer to since it has its own X server, but it uses ~/.vnc/xstartup first… You should be able to launch the window manager of your choice from that file.
man vncserver

Its a faster X windows / vnc system - clients for every flavor of linux including embedded / playstation linux. The source code is available on GPL. I tested it and it is very fast using the nxagent proxy. If anyone is interested in working on getting this to work with the small distros for X windows access let me know - Ill be glad to participate / donate part of my server for the work.
