[SOLVED] Mint 12 & xfce

[ERwan]

Hi.
This is a simple (newbie) question : Is it possible to install/use Xfce desktop with Mint 12 ?

[distoaddict]

you could install xubuntu-desktop from synaptic.it will give you the option of an xfce session after installation.

I usually install the xfce4 package, but the above probably works (I know it does in Ubuntu, but I've never actually tried in mint)-my Lisa vbox install is really slow b/c I don't have hardware virtualization capacity, so I can't actually get to synaptic atm. Linux Mint also has an lmde xfce version which you can download, although it is not quite as stable as the main edition and it's based on debian so it's not as new-user friendly. There is also a Linux Mint 9 XFCE version which will be supported for a while, until April of 2013 (I think).
