You will also need a display manager (unless you like the whole

Grouchy Geek says, "Since you can start X with startx, by
definition, you do *not need* a display manager.
xdm - small and simple and can look nice with a bit of effort
wdm - small and simple but ugly :-(
gdm - pretty and simple but not small and depends on lots of
Gnome libraries
kdm - probably pretty as well (don't use it) but depends on
pretty much the entire of KDE.
I personally use gdm, but I used wdm before (before getting too
depressed about how ugly it is.)
Why waste RAM on something you have *no* need for and doesn't *do*
anything that the console does just as well?

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
