| Nowadays most major distros simply go for KDE or GNOME, but it is not very
| common to see a distro use XFCE. This is a very sleek and useful little
| desktop environment, which provides great GTK compatibility and increases
| speed. Today we’ll take a quick look at which distros you should choose if
| you wish to have an instant Xfce experience.

Xfce 4.6 Alpha Available With New Features
,----[ Quote ]
| The final release of the Xfce 4.6 desktop environment was supposed to come
| this month, but instead the first alpha release has finally come about. Xfce
| 4.4 was originally released in January of 2007, so it has been quite a while
| since this lightweight desktop environment has received a major update. This
| release though does introduce a fair number of changes, which we have covered
| in this article.

New Xfce beta focuses on usability
,----[ Quote ]
| Not only do the dozens of small changes add up to a level of usability that
| users at any level of experience can value, but the 4.6 beta is even faster
| than 4.4. Individually, most of the changes in 4.6 may be minor, but the
| overall result promises to be one of the best user experiences available on
| the free desktop.
