Then again, what OS is easy to set up on bare metal? All of them require some ability. For a complete rundown refer to the Debian Desktop Howto. Alternatively, at the Debian Installer boot prompt, press the Tab key to edit the command line, then add desktopxfce.

Installation Install a new Debian system with Xfce During Debian installation, select Xfce desktop environment at the Selecting and Installing Software installation step. I had to tweak it a bit to get SAMBA installed and working, but once set up it actually worked seamlessly with my Windows shares (Windows saw Debian, Debian saw Windows). 42,821 packages were updated and 5,434 packages remained unchanged. It found all the hardware and worked flawlessly, installing with the GNOME desktop. This release contains over 11,294 new packages for a total count of 59,551 packages, along with a significant reduction of over 9,519 packages which were marked as obsolete and removed. I grabbed a copy of the Debian Network Installation and tried it out on an old box (1.2G Celeron w/ integrated video).

Xubuntu comes with Xfce, which is a stable, light and configurable desktop. This post is primarily a test message, then. I seem attracted to Tumblr and Twitter - I can share my ideas and finds much quicker there. I've not posted in many months - seems I've not taken the time to write much of anything in fact.
