[NTLUG:Discuss] Distro Advice

[Bobby Sanders]

Ralph,

I am still running Ubuntu 10.4 and hate the new interfaces. IMHO, 
Xubuntu appears to be the closest ubuntu to 10.4, but it doesn't appear 
to have the panels & wigits that I like.  Maybe they are there.  If so, 
would someone please let me know.
