Xfce

[ | Report broken link ]

Programming Language: Undefined

Description:
The Xfce Project is a collaboration of international developers working together to develop a desktop environment that is both lightweight and full-featured. Keeping with the Unix philosophy of small, modular programs that are very good at doing one thing, the Xfce Project has created a desktop environment which consists of lightweight components which can be strung together in virtually any configuration to create a desktop solution that fits any user just right.

How'd this get started?:

Olivier Fourdan: "It all started in late 1996 when the default environment on Linux was mostly fvwm. I was missing an easy to use and configure launcher."

The first version of Xfce was about that, a panel that could be used as an fvwm module.

What do you think are its best features?

"Ease of use and speed. When you get used to it, it's a very intuitive and productive environment in my opinion.

Xfce 4 is a great improvement over all previous versions, and the brand new 4.2 is a huge step forward for Xfce."
