CrimsonRedMk Member Posted December 31, 2007 Author Member Share Posted December 31, 2007 (edited) Hey - Kaboose -, Shift 0.6 isn't out yet, but it will partition properly, and if Xubuntu works, Shift Lite should work.

markwolfe Veteran Posted December 31, 2007 Veteran Share Posted December 31, 2007 My vote is for fluxbox. It is what I use every day :) However, XFCE is very nice, too. My second favorite WM/DE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadgeek9 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I use XFCE on my desktop almost everyday, so I chose it for that reason. I'm wondering, can you install this version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonRedMk Member Posted January 5, 2008 Author Member Share Posted January 5, 2008 Well it's a pretty close race. Any final votes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rson451 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 wow this turned out alot closer than i though. i figured flux would steal the show easily! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFuji Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 XFCE - mainly because it's a complete DE, results in a more consistent UI imho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Veteran Posted January 8, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'm more of an XFCE person myself, but Flux is very nice. XFCE just feels... better, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonRedMk Member Posted January 11, 2008 Author Member Share Posted January 11, 2008 50/50. Wow. I'm impressed. Both versions will be included on the Lite CD. XFCE will be our default for 0.6, just to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel Blue01 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 But there's one more vote for Fluxbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imhil Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I mainly use KDE but XFCE is a neat lighter desktop. My vote is for XFCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danrarbc Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 XFCE for sure. The perfect balance between simplicity and features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonRedMk Member Posted January 22, 2008 Author Member Share Posted January 22, 2008 Thank you for all of the votes, looks like XFCE won by just a tad, but as a reminder, we are including both on the Shift Lite live CD, but XFCE will be the default in this version.
