Toorox XFCE Edition with the leightweight and fast XFCE4 Desktop 4.8.0. Only the desktop environment has been changed, which needs essentially less resources and runs well on older hardware - or lightning-fast with new hardware. The installed applications are the same as of the "KDE" or "GNOME"
Edition.
Toorox LITE Edition - also with XFCE 4.8.0 - but this one has been shrinked. All of the huge applications have been either removed or replaced by smaller alternatives.
Removed for example: Ardour, Cinelerra, Gimp, Samba, IcedTea6, Wine, Kernel Sources ...
Replaced for example: Libre-Office -> Abiword, IceCat -> Midori, Thunderbird -> Claws-Mail ...
The "LITE" Edition is interesting for those, who wants a fast installation of a solid base.
In general both editions bases on the Linux Kernel 2.6.39-gentoo-r3. It contains the Xorg-Server 1.10.3 and Mesa 7.11. Midori 0.4.0 has been added as the leightweight browser. The mediaplayer parole 0.2.0.6 has been added. Mirage 0.9.5.2 is the imageviewer. Also Transmission 2.33 and pyNeighborhood 0.5.4 are on board. The filemanager is Thunar 1.2.2, ePDF 0.1.7 for pdfs, Leafpad as a small editor and Xarchiver as archive manager ...
