A New Spin on the Xfce Window Manager
,----[ Quote ]
| Xfce is a minimalist desktop Window Manager that is fast, fun, and efficient
| to use. Xfce is a viable alternative to other minimal desktop environments
| such as twm and Fluxbox. It is customizable but also has a kiosk mode for
| those of you who want to deploy a desktop environment that isn't customizable
| by end users. Originally for kiosk operations, some system administrators are
| using the Xfce kiosk mode to provide an unbreakable Linux desktop to
| employees.

Choosing an XFCE-based distro
,----[ Quote ]
| Choosing an XFCE-based distro is not an easy task, because not all the users
| are the same. Some of them are having older hardware, but don't want to run
| Fluxbox or the like. Some other people want a great out-of-the-box multimedia
| experience. Another category of users would prefer a distro whose
| repositories include most of the applications they need, including GTK+ and
| non-GTK+ development libraries and tools, or some preferred applications
| (e.g. Meld, GnoCHM/xchm, gxine, etc.).

What is XFCE still needing to become the #1 choice
,----[ Quote ]
| So far, the applications, tools, accessories and applets that come with XFCE
| are not contaminated with the Mono virus, and hopefully this won't change
| very soon. (Or at least, I hope so.) XFCE is reasonably mature, and
| constantly improving, so it has all the chances to become the mid-weighted
| Desktop Environment of choice pretty soon!
|
| To make XFCE be #1 (in "market share", if you want to put it this way), it
| doesn't have to look like Vista, nor to look like OS X Leopard; it's good
| that it's that configurable, but it's also good that it's simple by default.

Design your own desktop with Xfce 4.4 - part 2
,----[ Quote ]
| By popular demand, I decided to push the limits of Xfce’s customisability
| even further. This time, I would make it look like Mac OS X 10.5 “Leopard”.

Desktops and Windows Managers - Part 2 - XFCE
,----[ Quote ]
| Other than those few shortcomings, or things of note, XFCE is a good desktop
| environment that, while a bit quirky in the way it does things, is still
| quite a good choice for anyone wanting a light weight desktop to meet their
| needs. If you'd like to try out this desktop environment and see what you
| think, I recommend downloading and trying out Sam Linux, a live cd version of
| PcLinuxOS 2007 configured to use the XFCE interface. Give it a try! It's
| worth the effort!

Xfce 4.4: The best lightweight desktop environment
,----[ Quote ]
| For years, the lightweight Xfce has been a popular desktop environment
| for Linux distributions running on older hardware, thanks to its lower
| demand on resources as compared to KDE and GNOME; it's an ideal desktop
| for machines with less than 256MB of memory. Until recently, however,
| using Xfce was a little laborious, but with its latest release last
| month, Xfce is a much more usable desktop environment.

Open Source Desktop: Xfce's Advantages
,----[ Quote ]
| Most GNU/Linux users choose GNOME or KDE for desktops without

| graphic environments in window managers like IceWM to entire

| This release is supposed to be the last release for the 4.2 branch.

| Xfce 4.4 release.
