A different desktop manager.

Post by roadrash »

I'm new to linux and my impressions of the gentoox distro for the xbox are:

installation is very easy and all credit to shallax for all his work.

The only really weak area that i can see that would put me off using linux on the xbox is the speed. I realise this is down to KDE which is a good desktop manager but obviously designed for more powerfull pc's. I have tried both ICE & XFCE and the speed difference is massive and makes the xbox more of a usable compact PC.
I would like to suggest that a new distro is made using either ICE or XFCE along with all the tools available to make settings and customising them easier. It would also be nice to see many of the other utils included with the home 2.1 version of Gentoox like mozilla, the office apps & some of the others like small games etc.
If this was done i'm sure it would improve the whole Gentoox distro incredibly and show just how the xbox can be used as a viable PC.
