Re:How to get Ubuntu 9?

[Lothsahn]

You have to incrementally update through each version. If you have 8.04, you have to go to 8.10, then 9.04, then finally 9.10.

The incremental updates can be done through the install updates on your desktop. If you wait too long, you'll have to change your apt sources, so I'd upgrade sooner rather than later.

Have you tried swapping xfce for lxde?

I makes one hell of a difference on my old transmeta based tablet.
