I've read through some linux's and like everyone on here has said it needs XCFE interface instead of Gnome / KDE.

I don't really know what it is apart from a simpler desktop enviroment? Can i get Ubuntu and put XCFE on it?

Could someone list the Distros with XCFE's installed?

Thanks.

Yep, it probably would.

I really don't know what to get

The options are;

DSL
Gentoo (xfce4)
Arch
Slackware
Slitaz
Puppy Linux
Tiny core linux
xubuntu with XFCE
Debian
CrunchBang
TinyMe

Network testing, only aircrack really but i suppose i could use it as a router because that'd also help

I've only used Ubuntu and Bt3 in the past and that was for a few hours - i don't really know the ins and outs.

Hello again

I have gone with CrunchBang Linux [Ubuntu based with less specs] but what i need to do is get a start menu on there which means a different windows manager?
All i need is a simple thing like the Windows 98 start menu

Any ideas?
