The XFce 4.0 Lightweight Desktop EnvironmentThe XFce 4.0 Lightweight Desktop EnvironmentPosted Oct 2, 2003 12:17 UTC (Thu) by jlnance (guest, #4081)Parent article: The XFce 4.0 Lightweight Desktop Environment I like the lightweight emphisis, I may try this out. Currently my desktop "environment" consists of the fvwm-1.24 window manager. I switched to fvwm in the early 90's because it had a focus on being lightweight (and thats why I stayed with fvwm-1 instead of moving to fvwm-2 when that came out). I have tried Gnome and KDE and they are certainly beautiful desktops, but I always switched back to fvwm because they just felt so heavy. (And I know this is a dumb reason, but Gnome runs so many processes it makes my ps output difficult to read. Dont know if KDE does this). Anyway, all this is to say that I appreciate the emphisis on being lightweight. Thanks for doing the work. I am looking forward to checking this out. Jim
