Do you know the easiest way to install all the latest stuff for Ubuntu so she won't complain any more?

Finally I'm getting a bit enthusiastic about a PC based OS. Ok. ubuntu doesn't start really fast, but with XFCE, it's so deliciously fast in using.. and configurable and so...
This system is capable of keeping up with my brain-farts... :-D

Thanks for sharing. I was curious after your post. I went and installed it. I'm now writing this from an xfce session on a mini-itx machine. It seems a bit faster than Gnome. I'm still getting used to Linux. I don't use it very much except for an old laptop I use for blogging and this mini-itx box I setup over the weekend.

A 'bit'?? It runs 10 times around Gnome.

:-) Yes a 'bit'. I didn't hear any swooshing sounds. My hair wasn't swept back in the wind and flashing light.

I did notice that it was faster. A bit. :-)

It's probably because I don't use Linux enough to feel the difference...Could be my hardware? Don't know...
