Given the grumbling I've seen on a local linux users list, about new
gnome releases, and having heard favourable comments about xfce, that
sounds attractive. I prefer to have separate machines for web browsing
and machine control anyway, so a minimalist GUI would be fine here.
Incidentally, EMC2 is the only thing stopping me from chucking ubuntu,
and returning to debian. Every ubuntu install requires deletion of
sabotaging packages such as NetworkManager. Also, the increasing
occurrence of warnings against manual editing of standard config files,
makes ubuntu less and less a unix distro, I feel.
All that dumbing down eventually has to become a burden for serious
users, who neither need nor want another colour of M$.

Many thanks for the splendid results of the work done already. :-)
