Hi Josh, I have been using XFCE as my desktop/WM for the past 1.5 years, and have been very satisfied with it. I did dump the included file manager (XFFM) in favor of Rox, and had to resort to some external programs to get features that I was looking for (media keys support, setting numlock on boot). I think its an excellent window manager that is pretty lightweight (it works well on my P3 800 laptop as well as my beefier desktop), but still looks nice and is pretty fast. I run Gentoo so I cant comment on other installation methods, but there is a very nice graphical installer available from xfce.org if your distro doesn't provide an up-to-date package. -Matt On 9/15/05, Dennis Kibbe wrote: > > > --- Josh Coffman wrote: > > From: Josh Coffman > Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2005 12:30:22 -0700 (PDT) > To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > Subject: xfce > > 'tag > > Anyone using xfce? what do you think of it? > > I've seen some nice screenshots using xfce and been > thinking about trying it out on FC4. > > Is it pretty easy to switch desktops? on FC4? > How about installing xfce from fedora-extrans repo? > > -j > > XFCE is a nice lightweight, friendly desktop.
