Hello! I was wondering if it was possible to add more desktops. I'm finding that four just isn't enough.
Thanks in advance! __{{emoticon}}__

You can add as many as you want. Some of the more popular desktops available are fluxbox, icewm, xfce, lxde, fvwm crystal, gnome, openbox, and kde. The basic steps are:

1. Install from the repos
2. Add an entry in /etc/slim.conf
3. Add an entry in ~/.xinitrc

Have fun.

i think he is talking about more workspaces. you can use in fluxbox:
- settings > fluxbox > workspaces > new workspace
- or middle mouse button > new workspace

__{{emoticon}}__ Well, thanks very much! Too easy. I will have to learn to nose around before I bother you good folks again. Once again, thanks. Great distro!
