 OSWeekly.com - XPde and XPwm: An Overview
XPde is a minimal desktop environment and does not provide application libraries or extra programs like KDE or GNOME.
Also, Xpde developers want to keep this graphical environment minimal since the only motto of this project is making XP developers shift to Linux.
While going through the FAQ on Xpde’s official website, I noticed this question: "You have XP in the name of the project; you can be sued by Microsoft." The answer to this was quite simple but awesome.

 XPde Linux Desktop ~ Linux Fanatics
However XPde was one I had never heard of until it was mentioned in the O’Reilly Weblogs today.
XPde according to the website is “a complete desktop environment for Linux on x86.
Only problem I see with xpde as a great tool for helping convert the microsoft using masses is the lack of packages to install it.

 PCQuest : Linux : Believe it or not, this is a Linux desktop
That is XPde, a new desktop environment package aimed at bringing Windows XP-like environment and accessibility to Linux.
Note that XPde is not one of the many Windows-desktop themes for KDE; in fact, you can run it without KDE or GNOME.
XPde is still in its beta and besides a bare-bones calculator, command prompt and file explorer, you will not find any other applications for it.

 Techtree.com India > News > Software > XPde apes Windows XP
Since its emergence in 2002, the XPde project has been working towards making it easier for Windows XP users to use a Linux box.
The project has released both a desktop environment (XPde) and a window manager (XPwm) for Linux under the GPL license.
Instructions for assembling the components on various Linux distributions and multiple languages are available on the XPde forums.

 LXer: Is this the point of Linux?: XPde 0.5.1 Released - Screenshots (XP Linux Desktop)
XPde does not unlock the power of GNU/Linux, it merely hides the powerfull Unix philosophy under an underperforming copycat interface that doesn't seem to tap into the GNU/Linux system at all, just running on top of it.
Luckilly, XPde is not included in any major Distribution, so switchers will most likely be exposed to either the powerfull GNOME or KDE.
Conclusion: XPde is worthless, doesn't matter the way you think about it, a XP theme for KDE is a much better idea if you like the look, and a lot less effort.

 XPde 0.3.5 Released; InterfaceWM, XFCE and XWin.org News > Comments
XPde 0.3.5 has been released, which according to the site is a major upgrade to the XPde desktop environment and window manager.
Useage of ram in XPDE is actually pretty low, and it seems like the borland compiler is actually pretty good, so the Xpde binarys are really fast, so the desktop so far is very responsive.
I am a linux user for months now and I think in its current form I will not use XPde but dont get me worng I think the idea of creatinga DE that is familiar in a windoze user point of view is great.

 windows-linux-lookalikes-v.02.txt
With respect to XPde and other free software projects that set out to emulate the look and feel of the Windows OS, proof that something has been copied is almost beside the point.
Trade mark and trade dress are areas of potentially serious legal risk for XPde and similar projects but is beyond the scope of this analysis.
XPde has 20 volunteer developers attracted to the project "'[b]asically to learn more about Linux application development, and for fun." See Seattle Post-Intelligencer, "Microsoft's cash reserve at $49 billion." July 18, 2003; XPde FAQ, supra note 6.

 Automatic XPDE in Mandrake 9.1 LTSP
Of course, I will not run any script when creating new users, so I made the system set up their setup script automagically for them IF they choose to enter XPDE for the first time!
Save, and log in with your favourite display manager, and thats it, every time a new user is created, he will NOT have.xpde in his home, directory but once he logs in for the first time, everything will be perfectly well set up 8)
Btw, I have yet to figure out how to disable XPDEs "turn off" button, so that it only says "log off" and just get the user back to GDM login screen as it should.

 Scenyx Entertainment Community > Installing Xpde
I have debian installed on my xbox with kde and kdm manager so this is how i did it on my system.
I had kdm installed and when i tried doing startx it said device in use at device0 or some shit then i figured that i needed to kill kdm so it wouldnt be in use hehe so this is what u need to do if you have kdm installed:
right now this is basically a replacement for x window system which is good because XPde still has some bugs such as lauching programs only from run command and such and my kde still boots up fine when i start my xbox and if i want XPde i just startx.

 http://www.xpde.com | linux.or.id
Melihat kasus anda yang di "warning" itu artinya XPDE adalah semacam desktop manager juga, perintah./startxpde hanya bisa dijalankan dari full mode text, bukannya mode text yang dijalankan di atas desktop manager lain (misal:KDE).
Instalasi XPDE secara standar dapat diterapkan dengan asumsi anda menginstal sistem Linux standar, artinya tidak dengan paket instalasi distro tertentu yang sudah mengubah konfigurasi "./xinitrc" dan link-link file, serta kode program sesuai kebutuhan distro tersebut.

 Barnix / DebXPde Website - XPde as Default Environment. - Knoppix.net
Currently the feel of Barnix may more closely approximate the "Safety Mode" of a Windows installation, but if the performance issues can be resolved this could easily become a viable springboard for non-Linux natives to begin adaptation.
With the anticipated adoption of existing XPde Tools, Themes and Components and a little more development, this could even become a convincing XP emulator.

 Project's latest release makes Linux desktop look even more like Windows
Since its emergence in 2002, the XPde project has strived to "make it easier for Windows XP users to use a Linux box." Releasing a graphical user interface (GUI) that is familiar to users of Windows systems, the project has concentrated its efforts on making the Linux desktop transparent.
While vowing not to ship a complete Windows XP interface clone, the team has strived to make the UI easy to configure for end users.
The group's position on the legality and potential consequences of offering a complete version was made available in a 2003 brief (pdf file).

 Installing XPDE on Ubuntu
As far as I can tell, XPDE is a just-for-fun thing, and it isn't really a functional desktop environment.
Nevertheless, I see it asked for enough on the Ubuntu Forums that I figured I might as well help people install it.
If you use the installation script, try out XPDE, and finally realize it's not a functional environment, just copy and paste these two commands into the terminal to remove it:

 XPDE
Never heard of XPDE, so I looked it up and read their web site FAQ.
You can add XPDE to any distro from what I understand, but I agree wih you that it's probably not that useful, especially if it has link to applications that have no Linux equivalent like System Restore and the Defragmenter.
If anybody on this forum has tried XPDE, I'd be interested in your thoughts.

As I understand this release includes the latest version of xpde (0.5.1) So downloading a newer version of barnix (DebXPde v1.0.0) won't help me then as the previous had already the newest xpde version?
I was also wondering: Is there any tool like xpde which gives me a Win98 look (windows classic) because I like the classic look better.
One more thing: I really appreciate the job you're doing, but something that is not working is of little use to me, especially as a linux newbie.

Some of you already know XPDE, other may find it interesting, although a little abandoned.

A dyed in the wool Linux person, full-time home Linux desktop user and Linux developer, who nearly lives Linux, had to reboot to Windows because he couldn't be bothered to set something up.
Personally I don't believe XPde is really going to solve anything.
