Xfce desktop

Xfce is a free software desktop for Unix and other Unix-like platforms, such as Linux, Solaris and BSD. The goal: fast, lightweight, visually appealing and easy to use.
The current version, 4.4, is modular and can be used again. It consists of separate components which together provide a full desktop functionality, but these components can also be selected in subsets to create a working environment tailored to the needs of users. Xfce is mainly used for its ability to run a modern desktop on a relatively simple hardware.
Xfce-based toolkit GTK + 2 (same as GNOME). It uses the window manager Xfwm, which are described below. Configuration is entirely driven by the mouse (the mouse), and configuration files are hidden from casual users.

The GNOME Project is a project that initially aim to create a computer desktop environment which is easy to use, the software that are considered free by the Free Software Foundation. Currently GNOME is a desktop environment most used by Linux users.
Many software created under the banner of the GNOME project, and some of them released as The GNOME Desktop. Desktop is then combined with other software (such as the kernel) to create a complete system, like GNU / Linux or Solaris from Sun Microsystems.
