I use LXDE, which works identically every single time, has a very small footprint, and is completely workable to anyone who could work win9x. I don't know how LXDE compares to Mate, but I do know LXDE is wonderful, svelte and easy, and should be considered any time a replacement for Xfce is discussed. SteveT -------------------------------------------- I once tried lxde and was not impressed. Maybe it's improved since then. But now that it's moving to qt (kde crapola), who knows what will happen with it. FWIW, I have not yet met a qt app that I liked the look, feel or functionality. In any case, we should be thinking about alternates. Perhaps lxde will remain a viable candidate . . . :) golinux golinux _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
