Some other distributions have LXDE live CDs, too, ready to install. Many well-know distributions allow LXDE to be installed from their repositories, and then one can use LXDE session, instead of default. I have installed it in Ubuntu, only when I cannot find a particular program, I restart a Ubuntu in Unity, to search it. I have a notebook (Intel I5) running Ubuntu Unity, just to get used to it eventually, but LXDE is there installed, too. After selecting for the first time, automatically or after a short dialogue, it becomes default. Recently, I replaced an old Mint LXDE (LXDE live CD is discontinued by Mint) by newer Mint Cinnamon, quite liked it, but after having problems with the panel, I installed LXDE from the repositories, and it is running OK. For my personal use I stay almost 100% of the time with LFS. -- []s, Fernando -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
