Thanks William

Maybe I'll try Xbuntu as well. That's a nice light weight manager isn't it?

I don't really care how long it takes to load as it's a pretty 
negligible amount of time compared to the actual system boot up. 5 more 
seconds once every few days don't matter to me, but if there's a 
difference in how responsive they feel then I'd maybe be interested.
