I use Xfce [http://www.xfce.org] on many of my (slower) systems & laptops, it is light+fast and easy to configure. I grew up on HPUX & Sun CDE Desktops, so Xfce is very familiar. I think the 'CentOS Extras' repository is compatible with SL and the Xfce packages live there. http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.2/extras/ http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories?action=show Scientific Linux - Yum Repositories https://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/faq/yum.apt.repo To install Xfce, enable the extras repo & run 'yum groupinstall XFCE'. **Fedora 9 has some issues installing Xfce from media, but can also be installed via 'yum groupinstall XFCE'. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/F9Common#Xfce-media-installs Fedora XFce SIG - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Xfce Fedora 9 XFce Spin (Live - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Xfce/XfceLive Xfce Tour - http://www.xfce.org/about/tour Eleven Tips for New Xfce Users -200804 itmanagement.earthweb.com http://itmanagement.earthweb.com/osrc/article.php/3742236 http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2008/02/10/design-your-own-desktop-with-xfce-44/ http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2008/02/15/design-your-own-desktop-with-xfce-44-part-2/ -Cheers, Art@JAX > > But as for ice, there are several ways to configure it, Unfortunately > they are all by hand.
