:: Xfld ::

In the past week or so I’ve started using :: Xfld ::.

Xfld is a live Linux CD based on Debian and uses XFCE4.2 as its Desktop manager.

I’ve tried XFCE before on my Fedora machine and I liked it.

The reason I looked for a Distribution that used XFCE instead of installing it on top of Debian, was that I wanted the following:

• to use Debian instead of Fedora (deb-based instead of rpm-based
• to use XFCE instead of Gnome (Too Heavy) on my old machine
• a distribution that would save me the headache of configuring X and gdm/kdm
• a live CD so that I can try it first, and if:
  • I liked it I can then install it.
  • I really liked it, I can give it out to friends to promote Linux use.
• usually distributions have pre-built menus and bundled packages, so I don’t need to do a lot of customization
