<pre wrap="">Not too sure how keen you are on the Gnome based Ubuntu but if you're
keen on a lower resource demanding system while still getting the
benefits of the Ubuntu base, you might want to try Xubuntu which has the
Ubuntu base system but uses the much lower demand Xfce desktop . . .

Wow. I think I've fallen in love with xfce. Just installed it on my Fedora machine, and
it's going like I always thought it ought to. Thanks for the (indirect) hint. I might try
xubuntu as my next distro, now.

No worries, I should give Xfce another go now myself, since last time I
tried it was Dapper Drake!<br>
