Desktop choice

Hi,
Whether you want to use gnome/KDE/Xfce/fluxbox/..., you do need to install xorg. Xorg is your X Window System Environment, on top of that you can install a Window manager or Desktop environment. Which one is a personal choice. Xorg does come with twm, maybe too minimalistic for some, but this one is present by default. BTW: Be prepared for a long build if you choose either Gnome or KDE (full build). Hope this helps. |

Hi,
Xfce is nice, but it is not part of BLFS. You do need to be a bit creative if you want to install Xfce and there are no (blfs related) build instructions to my knowledge. It is doable: I run Xfce on top of xorg (all build from scratch). |
