I'm looking to change the wm to something more modern. I'm in favor of xfce
 Looking to see what the community has interst in. Now I know a lot of people have a problem with xfce because of memory usuage but I will be working on optimizing it as much as possible. But throw out suggestions Late |

In my point of view there is so much more inportant stuff to fix before starting to look at how to make things nicer that I regard this as being proposed with the wrong timing.
I mean current pdaxrom has severe low level stability issues, some basic functionality crippled or compromised, ancient kernel, touch screen incompatibilities with current kernels, incomplete boot loader, applets that should be for every day use that take ages to load (and some times do not even work), the usb client functionality is compromised for various reasons, the text console command line editing does wierd things, vi is still not in shape, there is no official backup/restore tool/applet ... and many more that I've ither forgotten or I'm not aware of. I think a system should be built from the ground up ... no point building castels in the air ;-) |
