Re: a few questions

Mate is a lighter weight desktop than gnome so it will run on hardware 
with not all that much memory where gnome may not.
The litedm-greeter program in mate now has a serious bug in that it 
accepts no keyboard input.  I found this out yesterday and had it 
verified by the creator of sonar-mate.  That in time probably will be 
fixed.
I'm offering you information not opinion since I don't know anything 
about your hardware or use of it.  Hopefully you'll be able to put it to 
some use.
