DistroWatch reviews Geubuntu, and concludes: "For Enlightenment and Ubuntu fans this distro is custom made for you. It takes the best of Ubuntu and combines it with a great desktop environment. If Ubuntu or Kubuntu is a bit too heavy for your equipment, then Geubuntu just might be what you need. It might also be an idea for those who find Elive a bit overwhelming, or those who like to be a bit different from the rest of the crowd."

From the article: "Enlightenment has a solid reputation as a lighter desktop..."
I haven't taken a look at Enlightenment in *many years* - but I well remember Enlightenment from 10+ years ago. And it was pretty much the butt of every joke regarding window manager performance.
Window Maker (which was WindowMaker [without the space] 10+ years ago) was my *light* WM of choice back then. I remember toying around with all kinds of window managers back then but all I ever heard about Enlightenment was what a bloated pile of code it was. I remember the reflective water effect at the bottom of the screen, translucent window movement, etc... back on my Pentium 166!
I remember RedHat (I think version 6.something) shipped with Enlightenment/Gnome as the default Desktop. (http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/3590) What a hideous mess that was.
Edited for typo.
