Jim,<br><br>no need to remove anything you may need later.<br><br>I have very similar or even worse issues, so I install Edubuntu and then<br>xubuntu-desktop on top of it. That simple. Even clients can use it.<br><br>Another option, even ligther, is fluxbox or wmaker desktops, BUT less
<br>friendly. However, my 2 kids (5 and 10) just get used to whatever<br>desktop they face, no complains.<br><br><br>--<br>Mauricio Hernandez Z.<br><a href="http://www.edubuntu.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
