Hi Roy,

Found this timely article:

ZorinOS, LXLE, Ubuntu are PC World's recommendations. Zorin and LXLE have XP modes to duplicate the look and feel of XP.


Very interesting--I see one of the comments comes
close to your reasoning on Xbuntu/Lubuntu; there
is still some thought in favor of Linux Mint showing,
too.

Earlier today, you wrote:

... I recommended Xubuntu and Lubuntu as a trial, neither of which are from Canonical. I recommended them because they are faster and have an upgrade tool (you seem to be dodging this issue). Newbies should not have to edit their sources list file as root to upgrade versions.

I'm not sure how to take the lack of an upgrade
tool, though. How often does it become needful
to upgrade in Linux? (Also, of course, will my old
netbook likely die of something sooner?)
