Good Day

Good day everyone, I'm Yochonon, and I'm a rank newbie when it comes to both Xfce and Linux. I've got an old non-pae Dell Latitude D600 that's still in great shape. I couldn't see just throwing it out after Microsoft ended support for XP, so I looked around for a Linux distribution to add to it. The only one I could find that would work was CrunchBang Waldorf 11. It was okay, but I was really addicted to the look and usability of Windows. (Yes, I know how user-friendly Linux is supposed to be, but it's not if you don't how to use it. I AM getting there, though. I have to learn on the fly, as I'm a technician, not a programmer.)

I just figured out to install Xfce after much scrounging about on the internet. (version 4.8 Debian distro) I've figured that once I've learned all I can from this little laptop, I'm doing to do something similar to my Dell Inspiron 9400. It's also a XP-based machine, but fortunately it seems to be able to run almost any Linux distribution. As I play with Linux, it does seen to be getting easier.
