XFce Desktop 4 Released

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the minimalist-approaches dept.

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.

    I just rsync'd and it still isn't there. I'm so disappointed.

    Even though Sun's Java Desktop could run XFCe (assuming you downloaded and built XFCe, of course).

    Lightweight? Hah! Who needs pixellated wm's when you can have screen! All ASCII, all the time! And detachable sessions. Who could ask for more?
