For the sake of lightness...I don't know which to permanently pick.

Okay...I've narrowed down my choices to two desktop environments:
Openbox: I'm willing to do the configuration...it's just managing the files that will be a pain. I've listed some apps that I would use if I choose to go to Openbox. a/b indicates a waivering desicion between the programs in the slashes.
Configuration: lxappearance/switch2, gnome-color-chooser, mmaker, obconf, obmenu
Browser: Swiftweasel/Firefox/Seamonkey
File Manager: Thunar, PCManFM
Login Manager: GDM + xlock (for locking screen)
Panel: tint2-svn/simdock/some other dock-like thing
Clipboard Manager: desktop-data-manager, parcellite:
Color picker: gpick
Additional Menus/Launchers: Launchy/suggestions
Music Player: Amarok/Exaile
Firewall: Guarddog/some other suggestion
Web Design: Quanta Plus/Seamonkey/Kompozer
Archive extract/make: xarchiver/suggestions
PDF Reader: xpdf
Audio control: gvtray/qamix
Printer Configuration: system-config-printer-gnome
Drop-down terminal: Guake/Tilda
Tabbed terminal: sakura/roxterm/whatever Guake's dependent on
Suggested list:
Configuration: lxappearance/switch2, gnome-color-chooser, mmaker, obconf, obmenu [OK]
Browser: Opera(opera-snapshot package from [archlinuxfr]), Midori
File Manager: Thunar, PCManFM [OK]
Login Manager: GDM + xlock (for locking screen) [OK]/ SLiM + xscreensaver [OK]
Panel: pypanel
Clipboard Manager: desktop-data-manager, parcellite: [OK]
Color picker: gpick [OK]
Additional Menus/Launchers: gmrun
Music Player: Audacious
Firewall: Guarddog/some other suggestion [OK]
Web Design: Aptana Studio(heavyweight IDE), geany(very lightweight editor-IDE)
Archive extract/make: xarchiver/suggestions [OK]
PDF Reader: epdf-view/foxitreader
Audio control: gvtray/qamix [?]
Printer Configuration: system-config-printer
Drop-down terminal: yeahconsole+[urxvt or mrxvt]
Tabbed terminal: sakura/roxterm/whatever Guake's dependent on [OK]
E17: Also familiar, but file management will still be a pain...and it randomly crashes.
KDEMod3: Already familiar with.
I also have school right now...so considering the factors, which one should I use permanently?

You could always just disable the [alpha-ish] file manager module in e17 and use PCManFM or maybe Thunar(though it lacks tabbed browsing, much to my chagrin).
Also, if may edit your apps list with my preferences/recommendations(for an openbox setup):
Configuration: lxappearance/switch2, gnome-color-chooser, mmaker, obconf, obmenu [OK]
Browser: Opera(opera-snapshot package from [archlinuxfr]), Midori
File Manager: Thunar, PCManFM [OK]
Login Manager: GDM + xlock (for locking screen) [OK]
Panel: pypanel
Clipboard Manager: desktop-data-manager, parcellite: [OK]
Color picker: gpick [OK]
Additional Menus/Launchers: gmrun
Music Player: Audacious
Firewall: Guarddog/some other suggestion [OK]
Web Design: Aptana Studio(heavyweight IDE), geany(very lightweight editor-IDE)
Archive extract/make: xarchiver/suggestions [OK]
PDF Reader: epdf-view(yes, it's heavier than xpdf, but xpdf is unforgivably ugly )
Audio control: gvtray/qamix [?]
Printer Configuration: system-config-printer
Drop-down terminal: yeahconsole+[urxvt or mrxvt]
Tabbed terminal: sakura/roxterm/whatever Guake's dependent on [OK]

I know it's Christmas but I just got iTunes for the first time and I don't know my security answers, HELP!!

I've been trying to download songs but I can't...help me please.

From a Kappy post
The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

I need a sim card for my 3G refurbished phone and don't know which one to use. I get a message IMEI 01181100937 939 4 How do I find the serial number

I can't find which carrier to use on my refurbished I phone 3 G. The screen says I need a sim card and has the message IMEI 01 181100 937 9394. Also ICCID unknown.

They are free at Corporate Verizon stores; retailers usually charge for them. You also can call Customer Service and have them send you one.
And you don't need a SIM card to activate an iPhone 4S on VzW's network.

Help! When I load up iTunes from my computer, it says iTunes has stopped working, a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. It's been doing this for the past week and I don't know how to fix it. Help please?

Help?

This may occur if you are connected to the Internet and iTunes is trying to connect to the iTunes Store and fails for some unknown reason.
Try this:
Quit iTunes and disconnect completely from the Internet.
IF you have an iPhone (iPod etc), open iTunes. Sync the device.
Re-enable your Internet connection.
Quit iTunes.
Open iTunes again.
If this does not work, try completely uninstalling iTunes, then reinstall it according to these instructions:

Can i use itunes with my new Samsung tablet. i have an ipod mini (i know its old!) and we got rid of our computer in favour for the tablet but now i don't know how to download more songs!!??

How can i connect my ipod mini to my new Samsung tablet?

No, there is not iTunes for Android. Actually, even if you had an iPad, there would be no way to sync an old iPod with it. You need a computer (either a Mac or Windows PC) running iTunes to sync an iPod mini.

I need to delete the latest update. I don't know which one it is but it has screwed everything on Firefox up and I want it gone

My dad updated a bunch of stuff on my computer including firefox and ever since then everything is terrible. I've lost all my bookmarks and history. None of my passwords are saved anymore. I need help. This is ridiculous, Firefox. Fix your crap before you make us put up with it.

Can you tell me how to go back to the version of Firefox I had before. I'm sorry, I can't tell you which one it was, I never paid attention. I've literally been crying in frustration for hours and I'm not good with computer lingo and my dad is out of town for several days. Is there any way to go back to the other version?

Trusteer Report security for Browsers....I don't know which version of Fire fox I have. Previous one could have Trusteer on it but this one can't and all of my passwords have been compromised as a result. hw can I have trusteer on this one please?

My Bank has made Trusteer raport available to protect all my passwords...and the new version of firefox which installed itself!!!!!! cant support this safty measure whic has now been compromised by MyWebSearch which has also installed itself on my browser...How can I get this feature to run on my browser please!
Regards
Coco

From what I have seen other Trusteer Rapport users post here recently, it isn't compatible with the Firefox 4.0 betas. Most security applications or add-ons typically don't support beta pre-release software. You should still have your older version of Firefox installed yet (if you had one installed), the Firefox 4.0 betas install to their own unique Program Files folder and don't overwrite another version of Firefox.

I have two apple ID passwords and two devices when I try to use my account/password it asks for the other account that I don't have the password to. Can update or buy anything. Can you help ?

I have one computer and one iTunes library and two devices hooked up to it. But I have to apple IDs a different one for each of the two devices. When I try to buy or update something using my account and password it asks for the other account password so I can buy or update anything. I can log into this website using my accountant it recagnizes me but i still can't get it to work on the App Store . I don't know I'f this matters but I just updated to iOS 6 and then tried it and it wouldn't work. Before I updated it , when I would try to get an app or something it would still ask me for the other password , but if I pushed cancel then it would ask me do mine and then it would work , but it doesn't do that anymore. If I push cancel it just cancels and does nothing. I hope you can give me some suggestions, I really need your help:)

Check the AppleCare number for your country here:

Call them up, and let them know you would like to be transferred to the Account Security Team.

How can I just disable "navigation toolbar" completely for the App Tabs? I don't want to disable this for other normal tabs.
