Ubuntu-13.04 -- disabling ALL compiz desktop effects?

[Mauro Souza]

Yesterday I upgraded my wife's notebook to Raring, and installed Cinnamon
on it. It's a 1GB RAM, Core2 1.8GHz, and runs fine.

If you feel that Cinnamon still sucks too many cicles, try XFCE. It's a
nice window manager, eats very little, and works. But if you want to go all
the way to frugality, install fluxbox. I used it for 2-3 years on my Ubuntu
5.04, ages ago... Takes a little to get used to it, but as soon as you get
to know how to make effective use of it, it's pretty good.
