Thought it was time I introduced myself

Greetings from north-central Arkansas in the USA. I switched to Ubuntu
a couple of months ago after too many years of various incarnations of
windows. This is actually my second time using a Linux-based machine. I
tried to set up a different distribution a couple of years ago, but had
a lot of problems configuring it to work with my machine - an old Sony
VAIO.
No real issues with setting up Ubuntu on my HP Pavillion slimline
though, which is a good thing because no one will ever mistake me for a
programmer of any sort. LOL My forte is writing and blogging - http://
jbotscharow.com if anyone is interested.
I love Ubuntu. I use Xubuntu with all the xfce4 extras because I like
the light desktop since my computer has limited resources - only 512K
RAM and a small processor - less than 2.0 Mhz; also because of vision
problems I need a dark theme with white fonts - including the
hyperlinks and xfce3-dusk is just what my opthamologist ordered. LOL I
use gdm with some GNOME apps like Balsa and epiphany browser. Also use
my old standby from my windows days - Firefox and OpenOffice. Both work
muxh better with Linux than they do with windows!
Anyway, I've been lurking here for a month or so and ave no issues, but
just wanted to say hello.
Peace!
