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.
