Yes, that is certainly a consideration.  You can install fluxbox and
openbox, but I can attest that if you install flux, you will be left
to build all of your menus by yourself.  As much as I enjoy tinkering
around with my computer, building the perfect menu is something I
would rather leave to someone else :)

I haven't tried, but I can tell you that I just *finally* got my
Radeon 9200 working with a standard Ubuntu kernel, so it is unlikely
that I'm going to mess with that anytime soon.  I think the best
option for me is to start bugging the Ubuntu developers to start
making "official" RT kernels available.
