XFce Desktop 4 Released

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.

Cutest logo

I vote for xfce as having the dang cutest logo yet.

The joy of screenshots

It's incredible, really. Here I was reading slashdot, trying to procrastinate doing some work, but it's the same stories I read earlier.... just when I am almost forced to stop reading /. and actually do some work, along comes slashdot not only with a new story for me to procrastinate more, but a story that involves looking at pictures of other people doing work! Thank you slashdot!!

Unladen, it's not a terrorist after all.

/.ed

[no reason to be here]

must be running their website on that PII he mentioned.

Their desktop may be fast...

[kcbrown]

But their web server sure isn't!

Ah, the power of a good Slashdotting. :-)

I spent the day pushing my "good boy" debian stable to the dark side by introducing it
to the sinful pleasures of the "unstable" apt sources. In the process, I documented
minor GNOME quirks and posted a couple of screen shots to freshmeat. I still have to
configure VideoLAN since I am missing the OGG codecs.

So you see, not every screenshot envolves a "working" person, some of us are just
broken.

bells.. whistles!?!

Bells, whistles!?!, i've been tring to write c apps that would generate those tone for years!! When is someone going to release code with bells and whistles... damnit!!! i want to see the source so i know what i've been doing wrong!

Nice try, but...

[Qbertino]

..the Fonts look a little mangled [xfce.org], no?

"XFce"

[Hard_Code]

"XFce", great. See, it's attention to pronouncable and memorable names such as "Ex-Eff-Cee-Eee" that endears open source projects to tens of users worldwide ;)
