Michael, What hardware do you plan on running ubuntu/xubuntu on? xubuntu is very lightweight b/c of xfce. I for one, run ubuntu on all of my workstations and am quite happy with it. If you can be more specific regarding your expectations/requirements I may be able to help shed light on the subject. - Erich On 2/15/07, plug-discuss-request@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us < plug-discuss-request@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us> wrote: > > Send PLUG-discuss mailing list submissions to > plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > plug-discuss-request@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > > You can reach the person managing the list at > plug-discuss-owner@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of PLUG-discuss digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1. ubuntuu/xubuntuu (Michael Havens) > 2.
