I prefer Xfce to LXDE, but basically 'installing a lightweight DE' (or a WM? Even better!) is what you should do.
Wish I had not used up my mod points as I'd do it..Anyway, I'm looking very fondly at Xfce myself. On mt 2and Linux box I will be trying Unity,since Ubuntu is what's installed,but my crystal ball says:"You will be getting Xfce."
. But this experience was horrible - 2 crashes within the first 15 minutes, definite slowness, and I'm pretty sure my gf will soon be asking to switch to a different interface, she's really uncomfortable with Unity so far.
Going to have the latest Ubuntu on my new box...Your post really worried me...I am going to give it a try,but I suspect XFCE will be on that box soon enough.
I am disappointed they didn't opt for Platypus. Way more interesting than an anteater..
Same here.
Can a pangolin lay eggs? I think not. Can a pangolin inject venom through its ankle? I don't think so. Does a pangolin have 6 poorly-understood sex chromosomes? No to that as well.
Pangolin. Puh-leeze..
So true..The platypus is off the charts when it comes to pure coolness.
Cash they can seize (the booty funds "overhead," leaving more money from taxpayers to spend on boondoggle body scanner devices) is the name of the game. Some police agencies get vast swath of their funding from such seizure activities.
We have an x cop as a next door neighbor and he basically said the same thing..He indicated the whole "war on drugs" was a huge money making racket and all sides are in on it.
Breaking my boycott was a mistake. The company is dead to me now
After the root-kit bit,I've stuck to my guns and never purchased anything from that company. If they go out of business,I'll crack open a bottle of bubbly and celebrate their demise.
I hate ads..I won't watch them..That being said,I'm also a Linux user and i enjoyed the Ubuntu tv piece.While i have no plans to use it,since I don't have a tv..It was interesting. Tec stuff i enjoy...

Sorry, if showing ads to someone who doesn't want to look at them is your business model and it stops working, you will have to either get a business model that works or go out of business.
So very true. You can show me ads till you are blue in the face..But keep in mind,ads annoy me..You are guaranteeing yourself I will not buy your product when you annoy me.
"I have been to websites that contained a warning "You are blocking ads, you may not use our website. Unblock our ads before you come back here".
Sounds like a website to stay away from to me.
Yes..You tell me to unblock and look at your stupid ads that I'd never click on anyway and I'm gone.
No tv here either..We just have a couple to watch DVD's and streaming video.
This does not surprise me..They want to nickel and dime us to death..A company can have billions of dollars,but it is never enough..They are never satisfied.
I stopped using Microsoft's OS years ago when I discovered Linux...Never looked back..
This reminds me so much of the Beatle's song Tax man.
I'm not sure I'd trust opinion articles from LinuxInsider to be anything other than anti-linux trolling. Weren't they constantly talking up SCO during that whole debacle years ago?
I heard this @ Linuxinternationals.org as well,so I don't know whether this website can be trusted or not..Is it anti-Linux? Not sure.
Oh not at all, you see, unless you're a big corporation with a lot of lawyers, you can't own any content. So they look "oh it's the little guy again" and "yeah this content would be nice to own" and with that, it's theirs.
Sums it up very nicely..Soon they will even own the air we breathe.
What worries me is what do they do if down the road the person develops cancer and needs powerful pain killers? Will this prevent the pain killing aspects of narcotics from working?

I don't understand why this isn't modded up.

Can a right-handed male and female produce a left-handed child?
Yes,my sib and I both had right handed parents and both are lefties.

That's easy to solve. Just put a checkpoint in every American's house.
Shhhh,don't give hem ideas!

After 9/11, we're all terrorists now.
Actually the TSA are the terrorists.
I'm willing to bet this guy's next computer will still have an Apple logo on it too.
Actually,nope: http://www.seattlerex.com/linux-apple-and-the-lurid-allure-of-consumerism/
Add to this LSD and ecstasy are not narcotics.
No, this is typical US attitude. They think they own the world.
If the rest of the world would tell the US to piss off, maybe things could get better.
As an American citizen,I totally agree. It's ok for America to do it but no one else had better do it.

Self righteous religious bigots demanding everyone do everything their way...Same old same old.

Same congress that prevented any women from testifying on women's health issues recently.
I so wish I could mod you up for this...Yup,it would be that congress.

are they going to charge me twice and if they do, is Microsoft going to sue them for patient infringement?
yep...
You should be glad we aren't charging you for not constantly leaving your television on so you can hear commercials in the background.
Shhh..Don't give um any ideas!!!!!

I'm thinking I would feel better about eating meat if it came from a "being" that had no self awareness.
Sticking with 10.10 too...I know for sure,when I have to move on it won't be to Unity or Gnome3.
Hoo boy. I can see that working really well with GIMP.
Now that's a scary thought!
