    I always thought Xubuntu was the only one that used XFCE. I think it has a little way to go before you can really build a distro around it though.
    I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.

    why would you think that? (that is directed to both of your points)

    Hey, I like VectorLinux because it's small and fast on an old machine and it's Slackware based...

    I used to use a distro called morphix. It was a live cd that used xfce. At the time it had a hdd install script.

    I used it for several months with no problems. If I remember it was/is Debian based.

    the Archie liveCD, which is based off of Arch, uses XFCE. however, Arch itself isnt based on any desktop environment, none are installed by default so you pick whichever one you want.

    DreamLinux is one of the best uses of the XFCE DE I have ever seen,
    its very fast and professional looking and everything pretty much works out of the box.
    It’s a duel Live/Install CD so well worth a try.
    Check out the screen shots on their site.
