Nah, the 14 hours wasn't with normal use. It was if you turn the screen down and turn off wifi/bluetooth and run at a slower clockspeed. But there's still a considerable amount of battery power with normal use anyway (8-10 hours!)

There is two different desktops you can chose between. The first is the one shown in this video. The other is more like a gaming os like PSP or Wiz.

It looks kinda hard to select things. When I get one I'll definitely make the Icons a text bigger.

The customization of Linux is pretty darn sweet!

@verblendet - Yeah, almost every X11 desktop has the multiple desktops.

It probably has an Alt-tab kind of shortcut, too. xfce, GNOME, KDE are all similar except for the underlying software tools.

If you look at the panel, just left of the clock you can see where you switch between desktops. At least I think that's what that is. Seems to be two desktops per default. Xfce can do pretty much what Gnome and KDE can do, except it's more lightweight.

wooot!

but is there no hotkey in xfce like alt+tab to switch windows?

are there multiple desktops supported in xfce?

doesnt matter if not, but would be nice to have!

(never used xfce, i'am infected with kde)
