E17 blows away LXDE on this old beast. Replacing MintPPC's default LXDE w/ E17 took things from novelty to funcionality.<br /><br />Bodhi 1.4 turned me on to E17 originally. Thanks again.<br /><br />p.s. I've noticed that when running equivalent desktops (MATE/MATE, etc.) on iX86 LMDE is noticeably more 'spry' than 'buntu Mint. This makes me wonder if a 'Bodhi on Debian' (Bodhian?) gets tossed around as well. Ideas for the future as the community grows perhaps.<br /><br />-kevjonesin-<br />DaKevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04916930737247536620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-87963121058257384962012-10-09T13:28:17.740-05:002012-10-09T13:28:17.740-05:00Thanks for help :)Thanks for help :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-44322067331086215282012-08-08T06:57:35.640-05:002012-08-08T06:57:35.640-05:00I just do it as you say.but I still can't star...I just do it as you say.but I still can't start nm-applet in e17.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03758205375483510257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-12533317577408180292012-06-20T16:41:34.974-05:002012-06-20T16:41:34.974-05:00I was just thinking on coming back to the Wicd whe...I was just thinking on coming back to the Wicd when I found this solution.
