Hugh, Ubuntyu allows you to install FVWM. I am sure it will allow you to install other lightweight window managers. I am running FVWM under Fedora. On Wed, 30 Dec 2015 13:42:45 -0500 (EST) "D. Hugh Redelmeier" <hugh@mimosa.com> wrote:

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS but Unity is a real pig with the ancient Intel 865G graphics. Any desktop that tries to use 3D acceleration will be awful. I strongly suspect Fedora's Gnome would be bad.
Is there an easy choice? Would Mint work?
The system should be self-explanatory to casual former Windows users. --- Talk Mailing List talk@gtalug.org http://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
