Hi Chris, Maybe look at using Xfce, which is a lightweight window manager based on GTK+ and is available in the ports tree and as a package (from the machine specs, I assume you'll be installing packages). The theme you use for it will impact performance as well, but the default should be fine. For text-editing you can try Mousepad (http://www.xfce.org/projects/mousepad/) and Thunar (http://www.xfce.org/projects/thunar/) for file management
