 Desktop environments available in Slackware can be broken to full or light-weight environments depending on the number of features they include. The more features an environment has, the more complete it is but also the more computer resource it uses. light-weight environments usually come with a small set of features, usually just a unified look and feel, and you will need independent applications. For example a vidoe player is not included like it is in [[slackware:kde|KDE]], but you can use xmms which is installed by default with Slackware. Desktop environments available in Slackware can be broken to full or light-weight environments depending on the number of features they include.
