I want to build a dedicated MythTV box using CentOS5. I need a lightweight desktop environment, something extremely simple that does not use much memory. Gnome and KDE use way too much memory and are too complex for what I want to do.

I've been using XFCE since 4.0 (currently it's 4.4.2), and since last December or so, I'm running it exclusively on all my desktops, at home and at work.

After logging in, XFCE takes 49 MB of RAM (YMMV), so it's rather lightweight.
You have to enable the [extra] repos to get XFCE.
I have some documentation on http://www.microlinux.fr about tweaking and fine-tuning XFCE under CentOS, but it's in french.
XFCE is in the CentOS Extras repo and it is enabled by default on CentOS-4 and CentOS-5 ... so:
yum grouplist | grep -i XFCE
For CentOS-5 that shows that this is the install command:
yum groupinstall XFCE-4.4
