Been there done that. Didn't like it. Slowed my computer right down
and a terrible convoluted mess to try and install anything outside of
the cult offerings.


The cult offerings are quite expansive.

Nothing exciting there. Many things depend on your particular GUI.

Odd, most people report a marked improvement in performance, especially
if using Xubuntu.

No performance advantage whatsoever. I also found it to be a
convoluted mess to install many applications. I tried many different
versions with different computers. I had a dual boot setup for a
number of months. I kept going back to Windows XP. I tried Ubuntu,
Mandrake and Red Hat. I didn't give up easily or lightly.
