Xubuntu (Reversion to 6.06 Makes Things Work)

[Art Edwards]

FWIW, I had just the opposite experience with wifi. Installing edgy made
things a little easier.
With a small memory, my experience is that the older the distro, the better.
Even linux
has taken to windoze obesity. I think this is actually driven by users'
(mine included) desire for slick
looking desktops. As Opus once said "Physicists need Porsches too!!"
