Hi Scott, Your opinions are noted and they are valid. I never claimed that XFCE was no good - just that I had never used it and there were probably good reasons why it was second best to Gnome2. Having said that considering the fact that going forward there is a need for a new desktop to be adopted - I acquiese to the fact that you - the UbuntuStudio team have done your due-diligence and have found this the sensible and viable option. I will take you up on your suggestion and try Xubuntu to see for myself the possibilities therein. I have converted the entire Flash development (and IT ) team in my Agency to the Ubuntuside thus my interest in this is tremendous. aYo
