I recommend installing Xfce, which is very similar to GNOME 2 (and
also happens to be fairly comfortable for someone coming from the OS/2
Presentation Manager). It's the default in Debian Jessie, so switching
now will mean you're on the same thing when Jessie becomes stable.
# apt-get install xfce4
Does xfce come with a lot of bloated apps? I remember that gnome-core
comes with plenty of bloated apps.
No, it's pretty clean and very, very slim. Someone mentioned that it
hasn't seen an update in a while but it doesn't really need one. It's
been bulletproof for me for a couple years now.
Very lean.
