When I decided to move to Xfce recently I did try Mint 13 Xfce to start with. I had problems with it, mainly with the logging off session. There is a thread about it on this list.On 09/01/13 15:35, Neil Winchurst wrote:By the way, meant to say.... I see that you have chosen the Xfce version for your friend. Great, IMHO the best desktop for a new Linux user. I have installed it for my daughter and my wife and they have had no problems. I used to use KDE myself, for a long time, but I thought it was unnecessarily bloated for their needs. In fact, I have now installed Xubuntu on my desktop so we are all using Xfce now. And I am very pleased with it. Now to try to find some friends to convert .....!! NeilXFCE is growing on me, I was a bit disappointed that Mint seemed to stop doing the really lightweight LXDE version. Haven't tried Xubuntu in a long time but with Mint XFCE you get all the Minty polish with a distro that absolutely flies on mid range (circa 2006 ish) hardware. Rob
Anyway, although it was fast and, as you say, had the Mint polish, I decided to move to Xubuntu which was my second choice. Have been very pleased so far.
