XFce Desktop 4 Released

← Back to Stories (view on slashdot.org)

BladeMelbourne writes "After thorough RC testing, version 4.0 of my favourite 'lite' desktop environment has been released. Sporting purty eye candy, XFce is leaps and bounds ahead of the legacy XFce 3.8.18 release, whilst retaining it's performance. Release notes are available, as well as binary and source packages. Bring that PII back to life!" While it may not have all the bells and whistles, it's pretty clean looking.

The joy of screenshots by commodoresloat · 2003-09-25 16:41 · Score: 5, Funny

It's incredible, really. Here I was reading slashdot, trying to procrastinate doing some work, but it's the same stories I read earlier.... just when I am almost forced to stop reading /. and actually do some work, along comes slashdot not only with a new story for me to procrastinate more, but a story that involves looking at pictures of other people doing work! Thank you slashdot!!

  I spent the day pushing my "good boy" debian stable to the dark side by introducing it
  to the sinful pleasures of the "unstable" apt sources. In the process, I documented
  minor GNOME quirks and posted a couple of screen shots to freshmeat. I still have to
  configure VideoLAN since I am missing the OGG codecs.
  
  So you see, not every screenshot envolves a "working" person, some of us are just
  broken.

"XFce" by Hard_Code · 2003-09-26 00:50 · Score: 3, Funny

"XFce", great. See, it's attention to pronouncable and memorable names such as "Ex-Eff-Cee-Eee" that endears open source projects to tens of users worldwide ;)
