When Linus says he uses XFCE, someone's ears ought to perk up. Linus is no Joe Lunchbucket user, afraid of new things. So, I installed XFCE and am happy as a clam. I refuse to use KDE as they have features you can't turn off that consume CPU and power. Thankfully I have choices. If I wanted to use the keyboard all the time, I'd go back to commandline interface and see if Firefox and LibreOffice would port SVGA versions. Of course they would be full screen all the time and I would have to switch workspaces with the ctrl-alt-F? combination... hey! That sounds like Unity! :) Ric
