Jon,
I saw a test of the various GUIs not long ago, and unfortunately XFCE has
become far more memory-intensive than it was at first. If you wish to use a
Ubuntu-based distro, you might try Lubuntu (LXDE GUI)...smaller memory
footprint than Xubuntu.
One I had good success with on a netbook is Easy Peasey, by the way. I used it
only briefly as I only was using the netbook for a few brief weeks before I
returned home and it went to our son for use in his university program.
