I think the last version of XFCE I tried was 3, it ran fine on my
P200/128MB. I didn't care much for it, though, it seemed to make the
same mistakes that CDE did without the benefit of being as widely used.
But I can say that if I were rolling Linux PCs out to replace Sun or HP
desktop workstations I'd probably use it to make people feel more at
home with the new machines.
