[News] Xubuntu GNU/Linux Saves a Machine Too Old for Windows

P3 Xubuntu

,----[ Quote ]
| I've been running Xubuntu 8.1 on a 700 Mhz P3 COMPAQ
| ENPRO computer with 512 MB of RAM. This system 
| originally had Windows 2000 on it and it ran fairly 
| well if a little slow. I've tried Debian 4.0 on it 
| and wasn't really impressed. With an earlier 
| version of Ubuntu it was a little more lively. 
| Xubuntu and a P3 is a good combination, especially 
| with the xfce desktop. This system has a 20 GB HDD 
| and a CDRW drive. The OS installation began as a 
| Live CDROM install. In this system a DVD 
| player/writer would not be a happy choice. I 
| have used it for light-duty tasks that do not 
| require much CPU cycle time.            
| 
| [...]
| 
| The applications button and sub-menus of the 
| xfce desktop is more intelligently laid out 
| compared to the same in a Debian Gnome desktop.  
| 
| On this P3, Xubuntu is going to stay the 
| OS of choice.
