Also takes a lot of fiddling about to set up a custom Debian desktop and
I don't have time to make a habit of it. It's a while since I reviewed
all the packaged lightweight desktops and there's been a lot of
development since then, I'll have a look at Peppermint. There was an
Ubuntu-lite version which seems to have died - I also rather liked the
Fluxbuntu effort - but that also seems to have died.
It is a bit of a gap with Ubuntu - it'd be great if there was a version
as lightweight as Fluxbuntu was and yet useable for web, Abiword etc for
non-techies.

I tried a custom Debian desktop once, for the folks who I gave Xubuntu
to (on the P3 800's) and somehow they managed to break it within a day. :-)
Next time I do anything on any older hardware I'm going to give
Peppermint Linux a try, it looks to be better matched to old hardware as
it runs LXDE.
