Hello !

Hi everyone !

This is my first post. The subject talks by itself, doesn't it ?

I'm dropping these few words just to mention that I gave a try to Xfce when switching from Archlinux to Gentoo. I am glad of this decision since I've been a Gnome user until then.

Could be nice to have a French counterpart of this forum ! Ok ! I'll do my best in English when posting a question or a problem wishing the contents would be clear enough so anyone could understand it.  ;D

Re: Hello !

Welcome to the XFCE Community.

I have XFCE installed on three systems, all running Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring and it runs very well, especially on my 10-year old Pentium 1 (166 MHz with 256 Mb memory).

My other systems are much faster, but the Pentium motherboard was gathering dust, so I decided to put it back together and it worked.

Great to know it runs well on your old P1. I have a Debian/Gnome on my P3. I plan to make Xfce its desktop environment in the forthcoming months. For now I'm still working on configuring Xfce on my P4 running Gentoo.

I have one wish. Xfburn being available soon. Even if the software is still masked in Portage, I installed it. What is available with the tool just works fine.
