I tried your suggestions for a file manager Petskull but I could not navigate my file system using IceWM, I just could not find a way to open my home directory. Undeterred, I decided to try the Xubuntu file manager "Xfce" and I liked it, so that is what I am using now. It should get me prepared for installing Xubuntu 7.10 on my laptop in 8 days time. I also un-installed Open Office and installed AbiWord, it definitely runs a lot quicker, thanks. I still can't get my CD-ROM to mount which is a bummer but I can get around that using memory sticks for file transfers. So now that I feel more comfortable with this set-up I shall endeavour to check out other flavours but will concentrate on becoming more familiar with this one. Thanks for the links and suggestions Petskull and C:\ I really do appreciate your input and beingthereness. :D Petskull you asked about a "light 'Powerpoint' program". I've just noticed on my "Liferea" RSS reader that Slashdot has an artical about a soon to be released competitor to OO called [url=http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/09/2140247&from=rss] KOffice 2.0[/url] That sure looks interesting. I'm really looking forward to the next new release of Ubuntu "7.10" Gutsy Gibbon due for release in eight days. I'm not sure if I should do an upgrade or a complete new install. What would you chaps recommend?
