I am running Xubuntu and I like it a lot. The problem is that since XFCE isn't the main environment for *buntu so if I have a problem there isn't as many resources on the forums as there would be if I was running say gnome on fedoria or KDE on openSUSE (which I have installed on my moms laptop).

In the future will everything be in the browser or will everything be an app? Which is it??
It is free if you have good enough grades to get in. If you don't have the grades you don't go to university and therefore cost is irrelevant. Does German have private schools where all the rich idiots go? That is how it is in Brazil.
