Phinx Desktop: A distro for Xfce users

Looking a little on the Internet I found Phinx, a distribution based on PCLinuxOS and whose main characteristic is that it is designed to provide a Xfce "Pure", with recommended applications for this Desktop Environment.

I can't tell you much about this distro because I haven't tried it yet, I just know that it has a graphical installer, is designed for i586 processors and is quite up-to-date, to the point that it already has xfce 4.10pre1 in your repositories (that neither Arch).

We can currently download the version 2012-03-RC1 from Sourceforge, the iso weighs 514.8 Mb and being based on PCLinuxOS, since their repositories contain packages in RPM. As soon as I have a chance, I will give him the eye without thinking twice. You can get more information in your Public Data. What do you think?

    This would be like Chakra only Xfce Taliban, right? It is always interesting that there are distros with that philosophy, focusing on a concept to mold it and thus provide a more polished final product.

      It is easy to put Xfce like that.

        Good but it comes by default, it seems to me better than the windows style of lmde.

    It looks very promising, especially for those of us who are fans of the nimble desktop mouse.

    It catches my attention I love xfce but I am waiting for xubuntu 12.04 if it does not convince me I will try this or I will be encouraged with debian + xfce

    With that you tell me a lot, pclinux bets more on stability than on novelty that is good, I do not criticize it but personally I like novelty more without sacrificing much stability of course, thanks for the data, but if it is based on pclinux means that it has the rolling release development model and its repositories might (I suppose) point to pclinux's testing repos or it has its own repositories.
