Great, I am glad we can cooperate.<br>
<br>
Naturally if we can include icewm/fluxbox as an install time option, I am all for it.<br>
I know xfce is still not as light as win95/98 and many of the targetted machines run those legacy OSes quite happily.<br>
My option for xfce was that I use it, and of the lighter environments it integrates IMHO the best with modern gtk2 apps.<br>
So it would be ok I think (not my decision) to have those alternate wms on the CD, as about offering install time selection<br>
it needs to be investigated; I know nothing about d-i and what it would take to do it, but I think it shouldn't be hard.<br>
glad to have you on board<br>
Jani<br>
<br>PS: and yes while I don't use it I think rox-filer would be nice, we installed it as default with xfce in hoary too.<br><div><span class="gmail_quote"><br>

Hi guys<br><br>Naturally Ubuntu Lite would cooperate and get involved. The aim of<br>Ubuntu Lite was to get a lite version of Ubuntu that could be used on<br>Legacy hardware. I for one will jump across and assist this project (and
<br>don't worry we won't *ubuntu lite* it. Ubuntu lite was more an attempt<br>to get something out there and active. If you want you can take over the<br>domain <a href="http://www.ubuntulite.org">www.ubuntulite.org</a> go for it.)
<br><br>If the only option is to work with a XFCE environment then Ill move<br>across. Though Vector linux have given their users the options of using<br>XFCE or ICEWM or FLUXBOX on startup (with a nice checkbox saying always
<br>use this option). I think that this is preferable as from my tests Icewm<br>and Fluxbox use substantually less memory then xfce (I got a result of<br>20mb of ram for xfce while 6 mb for icewm and far less for fluxbox).
<br>Having said that perhaps that is a longer term goal, and if the task is<br>to develop XFCE first and get it working then ill go for it.<br><br>If we need a blueprint to work off this came out of the Ubuntu confrence<br>
in Sydney. <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightweightDesktop">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightweightDesktop</a><br><br>It does run with ICEWM but you can replace it with XFCE. On the whole<br>Rox-filer is the default file browser and icon manager (It is cool!)
