MX Linux Forum

Omygosh, I wish I had 16 GB of RAM! But with my paltry little 8GB, standard MX-Linux runs better than when this machine was brand new and running WindowsXP! Far more than enough RAM to run this amazing distro!

The repos are updated pretty regularly and reliably, so likely just a matter of time. Seamonkey is an excellent choice!

Before Ubuntu made Debian usable by us ordinary mortals ("Linux for Human Beings"®), Mepis had already been doing it quite successfully. But Ubuntu had the backing of a millionaire and so kind of cornered the newbie market. Now Ubuntu has gotten too big for it's britches, teamed up with Mi...

A panel and a dock are just about the same thing, if you want them to be. I do the same thing in Xfce as @CatManDan does in KDE (very nice looking, CatMan). For eye candy, use Cairo Dock. For simplicity and low-demand functionality, use the good ol' Xfce panel!
