Alternatives to ubuntu?

[J.Markoll]

What are your needs ? do you use video ? do you have a swap partition ?
How does it react when using apps but not connecting on internet at same 
time ?
btw : firefox is a navigator, not a GUI: gui is a graphic user 
interface, the type of layer that's over the system, if I can explain 
that way ?
Best greetings, J.M
