[opensuse-xfce] Help for a newcomer to XFCE

Greetings, I'm a noob when it comes to the ways of XFCE, I'm predominantly a GNOME user although I do also use KDE. I would love to use XFCE on my eeePC, and also hopefully create a usb image for others to use. I do have a few questions with this in mind: 1. As the standard eeePC is very limited on space I would really like to hear of people's recommendations for applications. Ideally I would like to have as close to a full blown desktop providing all the functionality that I would see in a full sized laptop. I think the basics for this list are - RSS reader, IRC client, IM client, e-mail client, calendar client, VoIP client, webcam client, Office apps (Word Processor/Spreadsheet/Presentation/PDF), Media client (video and audio), codecs, network management, Image viewer. I appreciate that some of these are provided by default XFCE and also the Community repo. 2. Does anyone have a link to or could they provide a KIWI control file for creating an XFCE live CD or similar? Obviously having the application list first would help in the creation of the xml. 3. If I choose to use NetworkManager under XFCE how would I enable it to start automatically when I log in? At the minute I have to run nm-applet manually to be able to get my network status and connect to wireless APs.

Good evening all. I have attached a slightly darker Version of the Xfce-openSUSE Theme as some of you complained about the very bright (Vista inspired) colors ;) If you agree I am going to start reworking some buttons and scrollers. Best Regards Marcus

Hi. > Right - imageshack and/or similar should do. I don't think that this could be an option. We are definitly in need of a general upload space for members.
