Of course its a thorny issue, and it depends what you want, who you are, and
what your machine is. I don't think you lose anything by moving from
Ubuntu. Like many other long term Linux users, I'm a bit baffled by its
popularity.
On old machines try Zenwalk (slackware based and uses Xfce). If

I totally agree with what Peter has
Thanks, guys. I'll add an extra partition or two. I had given up on
Mandrake, so I guess I'll give it another shot.
As for KDE, like Mandrake, I never liked it, so I gave up on it and

Yes, agreed on Vector. Its a very worthy reasonably light alternative that
comes in a few flavors, has been around for a good while, and has a decent
set of gui tools. Vector and Zenwalk being Slackware based may sometimes be
less easy to manage software on than Mandriva or other RPM based

I used an ARM Rics Machine for my degree work in 1995 it was the best
Stephen, you might as well write, that at one point you considered fooling
around with programming, but there were too many languages to choose from.
Its pretty simple, just pick any one of Bob's and my mainline choices,
install it, and use it. You'll have a different experience from Windows or
One word: Compiz.
Expose is but a dim shadow in its presence. I now love virtual desktops.
