Evolution of the Desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| Clutter is no good on a desktop. It takes
| too long to find anything. There is a
| reason the old designs are popular. They
| work. The new designs work for their
| designers but not anyone over 50, or under
| 10. Thatâs about half of humanity. Do what
| you want with the desktop but leave me
| XFCE4 and such that boot like lightning and
| can move as fast as I can. My son likes the
| new stuff. His hand is just a blur as he
| clicks on stuff at 1680. I have to squint
| four inches from the monitor to see any
| details.

Returning to Linux, where to start? Part 1

| The rest of the package I would rate as
| average. Nothing really screams wow,
| nothing else is really lacking. With this
| you get a solid XFCE distro, albeit a bit
| fragile that is not as robust as others. If
| you are a fan of PCLinuxOS, the support is
| there, the community that is second to none
| and the packages are customized towards
| what those users are wanting to see. I love
| that the links are there in Firefox and I
| love the line "The distro-hopper-stopper"
| as I have always felt PCLinuxOS was one
| that would stick with the user a bit more
| than others.
