xubuntu-devel Digest, Vol 129, Issue 5

[Joel Carlson]

Having problems with Firefox could be a hardware problem. Xubuntu is
working great on a number of different computers for us. We even have
Xenial running on a Pine64 which has a couple issues but that is because of
development in progress software. Check the memory. We have been using Mint
XFCE as well but after looking at the beta Mint 18 we might be going 100%
Xubuntu.
