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.

| 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.

| graphic environments in window managers like IceWM to entire
