The question of XFCE as an alternative environment has been discussed within this member list before. A few have preferred using it to either KDE or Enlightenment. My own preference has been to use Enlightenment exclusively as I found both XFCE and KDE getting in my way when I want to get something technical done. I'm partial to the interface which gets in my way the least as well as performing those graphic based interface functions which I don't care about, but are handled sensibly without requiring that I daily manage such minutiae directly - unless I choose to do so. It is from that perspective that Enlightenment functions very well, in my view.
Regarding your other question regarding traditional Linux System Administration you may be aware of various standard tomes available via Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com. One online resource I've appreciated over the years is available from here: http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid39_gci1275447_mem1,00.html There are other valuable references which are online of course, but the academic training of this author, Ken Milberg, does not ruin the insight he offers in addressing real world System Administration tasks and information requirements. Other online references which could be useful to you are here: http://techpatterns.com/forums/about230.html http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/howlinuxworks/linux_hlrunlevels.html Remember to also participate on the Yellowdog Board; I've found useful information there as well.

They must be felt with the heart. -- Helen Keller Believe nothing merely because you have been told it or because it is traditional or because you yourself have imagined it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatever after due examination and analysis you find to be conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings, that doctrine believe and cling to and take it as your guide. -- The Buddha Refránes/Popular sayings: No hay mal que por bien no venga. There is no evil out of which good cannot blossom.
