I have xubuntu 6.10 loaded on my old Toshiba Satellite. All I get is the command prompt screen. I login then I tried the sudo-apt get install xubuntu-desktop and the aptitude variation of that, then I put in the CD it tries to install but then at the 85% install part I get the error “[1626.949601] Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 279952″
is the cd or hard drive bad? any ideas?

Just did: “sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop”.
Currently downloading. I’ll try XFCE on my ordinary laptop (Centrino+1GB), too see if it is possible to just. I have a P3 733MHz 256MB stored away. I have not tried to install Ubuntu on it yet, cause I belive it cant hadle it, but if Xubuntu seems ok, ill just run that on it. I really do hope XFCE is a winner, cause if it is, Gnome/KDE is going bye bye

I’m new and like the looks of Ubuntu but what a dog to load new apps! I’m not a Linux person and can only say that if you want converts someone better organize an apps loader that works with .rpm and .bin’s for example. It all started with LimeWire and then Smart and then Java and I finally give up and YES boot Windows xp!

How do I run XFce? I have installed XUbuntu, but when I run the computer, only a text console occurs. Thank you.

Xubuntu is phenomenal, I tell ya.I got it running on a 386, yes, 128MB RAM.It’s fast enought to make me wonder why I paid $3000 on a P4.The money could have been best spent elsewhere.
I’ll be notifying friends not to chuck out their old pcs.
