Xfce XPde 0.3.5 has been released, which according to the site is a major upgrade to the XPde desktop environment and window manager. We reported on the (Pascal-written) XPde before (shots). On other X11 news, InterfaceWM 0.2.4 was recently released, XFCE 4 is getting closer to release (screenshots and one more), while the XWin.org team had another conference call last week.

What about CPU/memory usage in XPde?
by Artem on Sun 27th Apr 2003 10:00 UTC

Is there anybody who actually tried XPde? What about CPU/memory usage? Is it significantly lower than that of KDE/Gnome? If it is, then it looks like I should try to download and build this thing.

I don't care about XP resemblance -- never used XP, anyway (but I think it looks nice, regardless of origin). What I'm primarily interested in is features, and XPde seems to have all the features I want. Now I wonder how it would compare with KDE/Gnome on my Celeron 266 with 128M...
