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”.

Eight Distros a Week: Linux Mint Daryna 4.0 Xfce
,----[ Quote ]
| So while I have not tested Daryna extensively — and I don’t think that
| Daryna’s Xfce version is final and two days of fiddling does not qualify for
| a thorough test — I can say, at first look, that Daryna is both solid and
| impressive. I did not go the Compiz route on this one — as a self-proclaimed
| (and proud of it) “old guy,” I don’t mind having a desktop that is two
| dimensional and, if I had my druthers, they would all be 2-D — however with
| 256 MB of RAM under the hood, Daryna Xfce still works adequately and quickly
| on a Pentium III desktop.
