Hi all, anyone know when lxde will be available for centos? Fedora lxde was nice but its end of life is far to short for a server. Thanks Gary.

[1] See the note at the previous link about Openbox packages. LXDE is something that EPEL or other repos might package to supplement the official package selection. As an off-hand comment, EPEL has a fluxbox RPMs. Lightweight window manager nonetheless ... if you're looking to compromise.> Fedora lxde was nice but its end of life is far to short for a server. >Understandable. You might grab the Fedora SRPMs and build them for CentOS as [0] suggests.

Sorry, I accidentally deleted the lxde thread, (on mail where I just use POP3) so headers may be broken for some of you. Anyway, ScientificLinux forums have a post about building lxde. It is time consuming, but if you really want it.... It's using Fedora 14 as the version and has links to necessary rpms. http://scientificlinuxforum.org/index.php?showtopic=759 -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6

It is a dual core 2Ghz processor with 3 gig ram so will see how it stands up running the apps I want under gnome as a server. Thanks for the replies. Gary.
