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.

Opera (proprietary) makes progress also. The company also has antitrust
proceedings against Microsoft, doing this on behalf of many.
