Whoah, great to see such an impressive comment. Thanks!
First of all, I used here XFCE desktop environment. Since I assume you don't have a lot of linux-related experience, I suggest you to download Xubuntu. It is based on XFCE and it has all the necessary things you would need.
Speaking of configuration, it's plain and easy. As soon as you manage to download, burn and, as a consequence, successfully install Xubuntu on your hard drive, set up your wallpaper & gtk theme. All the needed information is located in the submission's description. You shouldn't have any problems with that. Next, install all the required stuff. You will need trayer, tint2, sonata and conky - there are lots of tutorials and how-tos on doing that. You will also have to get rid of the xfce4-panel, you can do that with killing it and saving your session so that during a startup, xfce will not load the panel. Instead of it, add tint to the sessions and configure it with the code I've mentioned here : [link]
Unfortunately, I do not have that conky configuration file any more. It's easy to set up on your own, just google for some guides. The icon set I used here is Eikon, but considering the fact that this submission is a bit old, there is an updated version of that icons set - get them from here : [link]

And the most important thing - go to ubuntuforms.org , get some help on basics from them and use google

Thanks.
Current alpha version of Intrepid Ibex is very stable for me. NVIDIA drivers work after installing few packages from repositories ( no Hardware Drivers method for now ), kernel 2.6.26-4 works like a charm. There's something odd with framebuffer and xorg stuff, I hope it will be fixed soon.

Thanks for the info. I guess I will wait until RC comes out.

Well, I can say that basically every Ubuntu release is totally usable near a beta 2 stage. I'd recommend you to try it then on a Virtualbox or just install it

Crap, I thought [CODE] would work here - remove them and copy the whole into your tintrc file..
