Right now E/D supports fast graphics on a larger set of video cards
than E/L does, but E/L handles multitasking better and, because it's
the platform that the main Executor development takes place on, is
usualy the first version of Executor to incorporate new features.

After Executor 2 is released we'll probably support some new
extensions to X-Windows (DGA) which will then allow E/L to support
fast graphics on a large set of video cards.  At that point I would
think E/L would be preferable to E/D if you can run Linux.
