Dump Ubuntu and get Xubuntu
Ubuntu sucks.
Yes, it does. It is slow, buggy and not functional.
At least version 7.04, running on a 2-years-old Acer laptop
Get Xubuntu instead.
Although Xubuntu is based on Ubuntu, it is much lighter on system requirements and far more efficient than Ubuntu with GNOME or KDE.
I can testify to that being absolutely true.
They also say that it "makes it ideal for old or low-end machines, thin-client networks, or for those who would like to get more performance out of their hardware."
To which I would add that it is also ideal for those that don't like to sit in front of a computer waiting for it to perform a simple operation.

You can get xfce or even WindowMaker from ubuntu too.... no need to reinstall things, just use your synaptic.
Right,
but we understand that Xubuntu is optimized for Xfce, though.
What would the point of developing a separate distro if that was not the case?
Yes, that makes sense.
