Did you have a specific font in mind? Have you seen the font hinting settings in the Appearance setup?Bert wrote:Luki 006 is looking good...
I also like the easy setup with the control panel.
If I compare it to Xubuntu's desktop, it still has some way to go, but that's probably not a fair comparison, Xubuntu being almost 10 times bigger.
On my atom box,
(Processor: 4x Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D525 @ 1.80GHz
Memory: 2057MB),
luki 006 uses 125MB of ram, with only system-info running. That's a bit high for a basically still empty system, compared to other Puppy's. (It's twice Slacko's iddling ram usage on the same box)
But maybe 125MB is incredibly low for a xfce system. IIRC, xfce is normally thought of to need 256mb all for itself.
It was interesting to see the menu and parts of the xfce interface being localized (dutch). I estimate about 30%..
Where I think there's room for improvement:
* Better fonts are needed for my demanding (read: aging ) eyes.
* 006 is certainly not slow, but not as snappy as slacko, imho..
Thanks Jemimah!

There's probably a lot more localization available - I haven't included the NLS pets. I'm still working for a keymap switcher that works - the xfce panel applet does not and fbxkb did not work either.
Are there things from Xubuntu that we can/should copy?

Xfce is definitely not going to be the fastest booting option. It has a large number of background processes that it needs to start. However, it certainly seems light enough for netbooks and the "old" computers are getting trashed nowadays (at least in the US).
It is a little lighter without xfce4-session, but then the keyboard and mouse configuration utilities don't work and I think they are nicer than the usual puppy options.
