bkerensa | :) | 09:41 |
bkerensa | I think I might totally switch | 09:41 |
shantorn | what makes it better? | 09:42 |
bkerensa | Its lean (lightweight) uses far less cpu/memory but all the same functionality | 09:42 |
bkerensa | If I had as many apps running in Ubuntu that I have up in Xubuntu then I would freeze up | 09:43 |

bkerensa | my laptop has 4GB and Dual Core but I still might switch to Xbuntu on it just so I can put more resources to crunching | 09:44 |
