I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 on an old IBM Thinkpad 600x. That's a
500mhz processor with 256 meg of ram. I can't believe that it
installed. I had to use the alternate install with the previous versions.
Needless to say, it runs a bit slow. I thought I'd try Xubuntu to
see if it'd pep up a bit. I went to Synaptic and typed in Xubuntu and
it downloaded and installed: Ubufox, Xubuntu Artwork &
Upsplash, Xubuntu-at-mag, Xubuntu-defualt-settings, Xubuntu-desktop,
Xubuntu-docs and Xubuntu-restricted-extras.
All of this shows to be installed now, but everything looks and
runs the same as before? How would I tell if it's now running Xubuntu
or tell it too? It does show the new splash screen, but that's just a
picture I think.
