But I have tried different XFCE systems: <a href="http://linuxblog.darkduck.com/2011/05/dynebolic-forgotten-rasta-tux.html" rel="nofollow">Dynebolic</a>, <a href="http://linuxblog.darkduck.com/2011/06/sabayon-xfce-story-continues.html" rel="nofollow">Sabayon</a>, <a href="http://linuxblog.darkduck.com/2011/02/easy-as-mouse-quick-as-thought.html" rel="nofollow">Saline OS</a>.<br />They look slightly different.
