I have had to take an alternative approach to installing Xubuntu 9.10. No matter what I do, the Xubuntu live CDs I burn refuse to work on my trusty old Celeron, and don't work wonderfully on either of my more modern computers. Ubuntu live CDs work just fine, though, so I installed Ubuntu 9.10 with the intention of adding XFCE and removing Gnome. To do this I'll follow the excellent instructions for Getting Back to a Pure XFCE on Ubuntu at the Psychocats website.
So right now I'm writing this entry from my 'sofa laptop' while the Celeron chugs away, removing the Ubuntu software and adding the Xubuntu stuff.

Long time no write
It has been a while.
Since spring, my xubuntu machine hasn't been used all that much owing to space constraints in my house meaning that it's in a place that's not suited to extended use of a computer, but next month I hope to move it somewhere better and do a full install of 9.10.
Will let you know how that goes....
