My Thinkpad T42 died?the video card is shot. Nice computer bad video card. It costs too much to fix so I decided to purchase a Toshiba Tecra M2 for $300 from eBay. I have an old Tecra 8100 that I loved. I figured that before I drop the Tecra 8100 off at Goodwill or something similar that I would load it with the latest greatest Linux. I tried the Live CDs for Ubuntu, Xubuntu, and Kubuntu. I could not get the CD to boot within my required 1 hour time frame. Knoppix did boot and ran KDE . Debian Live booted very quickly but dragged out initiating Gnome. Then I tried Debian Live with XFCE. Wow!!! If you have not tried XFCE in a while you owe it to yourself to checkout the Debian Live XFCE iso. http://live.debian.net/cdimage/etch-builds/20070716/i386/ Jay -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
