Loading ...If you believe that you are not yet ready for Gnome 3 or if your hardware can’t handle the heavy desktop environments then you can always enjoy Fedora 15 Lovelock with your old hardware using light desktop shells like LXDE or XFCE.
LXDE (Light X Desktop Environment)
You can install it on Fedora 15 system by running the following commands
su -yum install @lxde-desktop
After installation, log out and while logging in, choose LXDE from the login session drop down menu. The default installation would look like the one shown below
Xfce
You can install Xfce in Fedora by using following commands
su -yum groupinstall xfce
The default screen looks like the one shown below,
It is difficult to tell which of the two (LXDE vs Xfce 4) is better. It is a personal thing, so I would recommend you to give them both a try and see which one suits your need better.
