I'm trying to remember now if it was D_mn Small Linux or Puppy Linux where I saw it. I do recall, from distro-hopping, that desktops utilizing Rox as file manager were *very* minimalist, not newbie-friendly. I certainly didn't continue using them ;)
Properly speaking, "desktop" is a combination of window manager, file manager, control panel applications, and possibly other graphical underpinnings that have been developed together and integrated together. Linux being Linux, one can also go piecemeal and create apps in any or all of these primary categories. ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
