I started with Ubuntu 8.04 but never enjoyed GNOME looks so moved to
KDE till memory hog named KDE 4 came out, even KDE 4.1 was slow on my

Both KDE4 and Gnome when mixed with Firefox and Open Office need good
amount of RAM .
You can use KDE3.X which comes as default in debian lenny and is very
stable (to say the least)
so I moved to Xubuntu whose light
interface runs pretty well on my system apart from the fact that X
server crashes [~once a week], I verified with other friends using
Xubuntu that XFCE is not very stable and crashes do occur.
*Ubuntu is an unstable distribution and relies heavily on community
feedback in the case of xubuntu its definitely less than ubuntu . Go
for XFCE on Debian( even on testing(currently squeeze) you will it
very stable .

The baove link is a debian cd1 with basic packages and xfce as desktop .
