Distributions curious: XFCE 0.8.1 Manjaro

class=”article first_main_article” readability=”51″>

Some commentators have referred several readers in new editions of some distributions, not by minority or unpopular worthless. Manjaro is the case XFCE 0.8.1 , which is based on Arch Linux and aims to “create a Linux distribution simple, light, current, quick, friendly and follow the principle KISS . “

500x280 Distributions Manjaro curious: XFCE 0.8.1 Manjaro

seems to have done, because Manjaro 0.8.1 offers in just 327.2 Mbytes (i686 image size now) quite a lot of interesting components:

    • series XFCE 4.10

      KDE SC 4.8.4

    • in repos (optional 4.9.1 from the testing repos)
    • GNOME 3.4.2 in the repo (3.4.3 from the repos testing optional)

      • Cinnamon

    • 1.5.2 in the repos
    • Native support for English, French and German (other languages ​​in the repository)

      • Linux Kernel 3.5.4

      • Manjaro

    • 0.2.0 Hardware Detection

    official announcement

    developers have indicated that to save memory LightDM been replaced with LXDM , and have also created a topic for attractive visual interface for this session manager. The hardware detection MHWD tool uses the BUS IDs to better control the hardware installed, while packages like plymouth and other key components also work better.

    Anyway

    in Manjaro make use of a package manager called BoxIt own that has a design like git, and other components such as these (MHWD or CLI) trying to take all possible advantage of the power of Arch Linux, but bringing them to the inexperienced user. Its officials explain that their users “ still have a rolling release, but not as fast as Arch Linux “.

    Such aid

    complete with bash scripts to manage graphic drivers , Xfce pre-set with some extras or start a transmission of visual interface configurations. If Xfce is not to your taste, do not worry, because they are preparing versions of KDE and GNOME Manjaro.

    certainly an interesting way to learn about Arch Linux , one of the distros star today, but from a more novice users. Thanks for letting us know of the existence of this distro that I personally did not know.

    7 could deliver Debian Xfce as the default desktop [Updated]

    class=”article first_main_article” readability=”60″>

    Several news about the next version of Debian that we collect on this entry, but only one could take the owner … So let’s talk about Debian 7, code name ‘Jessie’. ..

    Jessie Toy Story 3 7 could give Debian Xfce as the default desktop [Updated]

    Following

    image on these lines, I must say, if someone does not know yet, that is called Debian 7 Jessie, in honor of the ‘cowgirl’ Toy Story (every version of Debian takes the name of any of the characters in the film).

    second point, the distribution developers released a couple of days ago the first beta of Debian Installer 7, which consists no less than 11 images of DVD . That pile of disks represent the distribution repositories, and are useful mainly for those without Internet access.

    But you know you do not need download both DVD and it is only with the first CD, which also are a few of them, enough to install the system and the default desktop, which until now has been GNOME ( Installation CDs are distributed to the main desk).

    say so far because a Debian developer Joey Hess, has proposed what could be a new blow to GNOME, as things stand switch to Xfce . Its main reason is to get the entire desktop on the first CD , which can not do with GNOME right now.

    Will you come then 7 with Debian Xfce desktop environment by default, to the detriment of GNOME I certainly do not know. I do not know how to make these decisions Debian developers (according to the same Hess, there is no clear procedure) or the position held Joey Hess in decision-making. Even if your message is a mere suggestion or something else (to see if there is out there somewhere debianita aware that we clarify some things). But as they give ball … I echo Muktware.

    [Update]

    rush made me mess up all the way, and as I remember in the comments, Debian 7 is Wheezy, while 8 is Jessie Debian . Apologies for the trip :)

    Whom ye lay under the GNOME desktop classic , something I have repeated more than once: the answer is Xfce, the refuge of those who love GNOME 2. It is a simple, lightweight and stable, slowly gaining functionality. In fact, it is very easy to stop with the two panels of old and almost the same options.

    Once

    discussed the advantages of Xfce, we will see a “trick” to get the old menu GNOME 2 as you can see in the image above these lines (I confess that I never ended that system, but I guess many of you it’s the opposite).

    edit the Xfce menu by hand , as it was not long ago, not a very difficult task, but rather laborious. Fortunately, it’s about follow a few steps, copy and paste . Without the need to install anything.

    But how to find the here, but where the author, XunilinuX , as originally published: in DesdeLinux. Mola mola ¿or

    We have with us Xfce 4.10 (Xfce not 4010)

    class=”article first_main_article” readability=”41″>

    “ Today, after 1 year and 4 months of work, we are pleased to announce the release of the Xfce desktop 4.10 , a new stable version is going to the 4.8 “. So officials announced this project last April 28 output to the forefront of this new version of Xfce.

    xfce April 10 500x348 We have with us Xfce 4.10 (Xfce not 4010)

    official announcement highlights the improvements and new desktop with a search tool application combines the functionality of the old xfce4-appfinder and xfrun4.

    addition the panel has a vertical layout mode, in which the panel plugins can be arranged in multiple rows, something interesting in the “deskbar”. You can also launch applications and open files on the desktop with a simple mouse click, and WIN we will find a new editor MIME to change the applications assigned to different file types.

    You can find many more

    data on Xfce 4.10 in both the official announcement and in the change log or on the tour that the developers have prepared for that release. And of course you can download this desktop environment from the official download page, here.

    For dessert, however, a curiosity: it is assumed that Xfce developers had decided to change the naming system Xfce -at least that was the last news we had, but which theoretically 4010 was to be called Xfce has maintained the traditional nomenclature. Uhm.

    The next version of Xfce Xfce is 4010

    first_main_article” class=”article readability=”48″>

    the official blog of the Xfce project have published an article which talks about the next version of this desktop environment, increasingly popular, which is now in its version 4.8 and we did not know what numbers jump after this latest edition.

    xfce 4010 500x357 The next version of Xfce Xfce is 4010

    debate on the numbers given several problems, since the next version theoretically would Xfce 4.10 , but this choice was problematic for some developers because it would seem that 4.10 to 4.1, which does not represent a clear evolution in the numbering.

    not want to jump to Xfce 5.0 , which most people would associate with a jump equal to GNOME 3, so other alternatives emerged, such as using a hexadecimal value (at 0 × 4.8 will 0 × 4A happen, something curious but perhaps too far-fetched).

    The conclusion has been to make the actual separation point as thousand separator, which have converted the version number, so that now amount to 4008 Xfce 4.8 (4 x 1000 + 8), andthe following iteration would in fact be , Xfce 4010, but the point is, Xfce 4010.

    The decision seems final, and in fact have already posted a preliminary roadmap for the development of this new version, which will final version of the April 1, 2012 . We’ll see if until that moment we can get used to this new and strange nomenclature.

    Xfce, a refuge for lovers GNOME 2

    first_main_article” class=”article readability=”37″>

    GNOME 3 has become the default desktop environment in most major distributions that use GNOME Shell Unity or to present the visual interface. That has made many fans GNOME 2 fell somewhat orphaned if you want to have their distributions to the last, but Xfce is becoming more so a viable alternative for those users.

    500x311 Xfce xfce, a refuge for lovers GNOME 2

    explained in a lengthy and interesting article in The Register in which indicate that if KDE 4 is not to our liking and GNOME 3 does not convince us, we may have in Xfce our best ally. In the comments of the latest articles related to Unity and even with GNOME Shell many as you mentioned, and the truth is that Xfce has matured a lot, and WIN is now even this “light transmission” windows , already become a long full desktop.

    sure many you have your desktop running Xfce, but surely you have done to recover this “desktop metaphor” as the English like to say, that we loved to take advantage GNOME 2 . Unity seems to have most influenced positively less popular alternative, and unless things change a lot, is likely to continue doing PHP 5.x .
