Xfce 4.4 beta1 released!

Image from Xfce Diary
Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment for various *NIX systems. Designed for productivity, it loads and executes applications fast, while conserving system resources.
Xfce 4.4 beta1 was released yesterday. Here are some new features:
  • Thunar File Manager a new file manager that replaces xffm.
  • Desktop Icons the most requested feature is now implemented.
  • Panel is completely rewritten. You can now add/remove as many panel as you wish, panel plugins can be downloaded at xfce-goodies, including xfapplet which allows you to use GNOME applet on Xfce panel.
  • Others
    • Preferred Applications allows you to choose default application for web browsing, mail reading etc.
    • Mousepad a notepad-like application for Xfce
    • Orage a calendar application for Xfce. I'll just use Google Calendar anyway ;)
More info and screenshots are available at Xfce Diary. Give it a try! And you may never want to use GNOME or KDE again XD
