the road to Lucid Lynx

Have been using Xubuntu for the last several years as my desktop of choice since the days of the first LTS Dapper Drake, the XFCE desktop proved to me a more sane and stable desktop environment then the Ubuntu Gnome version, especially some exciting new features (bugs and quirks) concerning the file manager (Nautilus) and the mail program (evolution) had me fleeing to the boring and featureless stable cradle  that Thunar and Thunderbird provided.

But with the new 9.10 in beta i’m willing to put it up to the test to see if i can switch to the standard Ubuntu for all my installed desktops (+- 12 of them) by the time of 10.04 .

While safely posting this from my Xubuntu Jaunty 9.04 eeepc netbook i will be keeping track of the preparation for my personal use case on a modest Pentium IV with 512MB RAM as my test installation
