Once you have installed the basic system then to install a minimal XFCE desktop on the Raspberry Pi (or any Debian Wheezy system) you need to start by logging in root. It is noticeably slower than XFCE or LXDE on the Raspberry Pi but provides a slightly ‘richer’ user experience, and any GNOME2 users (like me) will feel right at home. If you prefer the classic desktop look and feel I have also written up how to install the MATE desktop. Since it is relatively lightweight it isn’t a bad alternative to LXDE on the Raspberry Pi, and makes a very good alternative to GNOME 3 on older machines that can’t handle the new desktop. XFCE is a lightweight desktop environment that aims to be fast and responsive, while still retaining the user-friendly look and feel of a classic desktop.
