I did try Xfce for two or three days on the then F15 machine that wouldn't boot to Gnome for love nor money, and it did seem user-friendly. One reason I didn't try longer was that I need to get familiar with some distro, preferably an rpm one, that has much less frequent releases, and that I can introduce my wife to, so that when I'm gone, she won't face a choice between Fedora and what Kipling'd've called Lesser Breeds Without the Linux. This seemed a good time and a good machine on which to give SL a long hard try. But I may yet try shifting the next most expendable machine to an Xfce spin if F15, or even a KDE4 one. Can you run Gnome apps in Xfce? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
