Giving XFce4 a Spin (OS News)

OS News reviews XFce. "[If] you've got GNOME and KDE as fantastic, complete desktop environments, why use XFce? The simple answer to this is - it's lightweight, and very fast. For users like me, who're stuck with 6-year-old Pentium IIs, KDE and GNOME seem more or less sluggish (depending upon how much RAM you have). But XFce is blazing fast." (Found on Footnotes)

Giving XFce4 a Spin (OS News)

For those of you tired of the bloat of KDE and Gnome, this is a great desktop environment. It's a bit more featured than something like Fluxbox (which I switched from), and is definitely very fast. Nice job, XFCE team.
