“Last week I looked at the Debian version of Linux
Mint. This time around I’m going to cover the Xfce version; this
review was actually partly written before the release of the Debian
version. I cast it aside and jumped into the Debian version, but I
wanted to get this one done this week and out of the way.“We all know that there are passionate partisans of the GNOME
and KDE versions of Linux Mint; yet, oddly, you rarely hear about
people raving about the Xfce version. That’s a shame, because
sometimes less is truly more. Linux Mint 9 Xfce has a lot to offer
to those who have limited hardware, or who simply prefer not to
deal with the eye-candy bloat of GNOME or KDE.“What’s New In This Release
“There’s quite a bit of new stuff in this release, here’s a
sample of what you’ll find:“New Software Manager
New Backup Tool
Improved Look & Feel
Thunar Move to Trash and Delete Options
Windows Installer
Usb Creator
32 & 64 Bit Editions
Faster Boot“I’ll cover the Software Manager in the software section of the
review, and I’ll talk about the look and feel in the desktop
section.”
