Xfce 4.6 ~ 4.8
I've pretty much been going through gnome, kde, and Xfce and haven't found my niche yet. Looking to go from Xfce 4.6 to 4.8 and haven't found howto yet.
Can a point in the right directions..... |
Sure run Debian Unstable/sid and install xfce4. :)
$ apt-cache policy xfce4 xfce4: Installed: (none) Candidate: 4.8.0.2 Version table: 4.8.0.2 0 500 http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ unstable/main i386 Packages Prefers KDE: KDE - Be Free! Platform Version 4.6.2 (4.6.2) |
I am not that sure, but the bigger part of it is (or seems to be) already in Debian testing:
http://packages.debian.org/search?su...keywords=xfce4 You could also run a mixed testing/unstable system: http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=15612 But you should not mix stable with any of testing or unstable. imho. Or do what craigevil said. ---- I got several system which went from xfce4.6 to xfce4.8, and it is without any (bigger) issues. I assume that was your question. You will need to run testing or unstable or a mixed testing/unstable. You can upgrade, you don't need to reinstall. First time you log into it it will ask you about the panel-settings. I had little problems with the menu, and i have little problems with thunar. Both not on all systems. It is not worth any trouble, if you ask me (but i am rather ignorant when it comes to changes of the gui. I barely see any changes). |
And if that doesn't blow your skirt up try lxde.

Well here http://www.xfce.org/download
I see 4.8 is stable is it not for debian? |
It's best to use the package manager to install things rather than just downlaoding and installing them off the project's site.

Debian Testing already has xfce 4.8.
