Best DE/WM for beginners?
Also Openbox with some extra tools like lxpanel (So, pretty much LXDE but without LXDE...)? Too advanced?
I know some of you are going to say XFCE, but its very clumsy in terms of newb configuration in my opinion.
I might be wrong, but you can do a lot of mistakes on openbox & XFCE making your day worse i you dont know wtf is going on.
What do you think of enlightenment/E? Any others? tinywm: Very Windows 95'y but clumsy.

I think XFCE is easier if you use a distro where it is well developed: Xubuntu is my favorite but there are many other. If you install XFCE on Debian you really need a lot of configuration but in Xubuntu it's already configured

Enlightenment is, from my general understanding, the sexiest - two distros which give it are Bodhi Welcome | Bodhi Linux , and EliveCD Elive, Fast and Beautiful Linux Distro

You should go ahead with XFCE
