Looking good anti. Is that John's build? I wish I had time to finish what I started.

I have a few things that I've done for a antiX-Xfce build if your interested?

Hi erie.

This is antiX-M8.2-test1 with xfce4.6-1 installed via the meta-installer.
The meta-installer just installs a minimum xfce.

I'm interested in your antiX-xfce build. I don't use xfce so any help, advice, tips are more than welcome.

What xfce apps are essential to get a lite but full(ish) xfce desktop?
What apps are needed for a complete/standard xfce desktop?

If you want pure xfce there are some app that can replace what normally is installed in antiX.
xmms=xfmedia
brasero=xfburn(fairly new and not yet complete but excellent)
xarchiver=squeeze(same as above)
leafpad=mousepad
and more.

There are also alot of scripts you, John, others as well as myself have built for antix that will not be needed because xfce come with it's own set of configuration tools(settings).

I made some logos and a xfce splash screen if your interested. Be warned, I'm no artist.

Hello. I basically installed xfce from the testing repos. I've added mousepad and a few xfce tools: squeeze, notes, clipman, etc. I'm deciding on going back to slim. I've also tweaked the control center. Will need to tweak further if I go back to slim.

Here's what I have so far:
