Basically he Look at these screenshots: http://www.xfce.org/en/screenshots.html http://www.xpde.com/shots.php XFCE looks a lot like Mac OS X (more than Gnome) and XPDE looks just like WinXP, don't you agree?

It's a political thing. Thanks for the input though. With a gdm/xdm running plus Gnome runnign when your boss is online I'd say you are wasting a lot of resources. It is a server, right?
