[HLUG] The death of Windows Xp

[brightfield at runbox.com]

I have been using Crunchbang Linux for the last year. It is based on Debian 7.

http://crunchbang.org/

Comes in a couple of flavours that will suite older machines also. It is extremely stable and it has become my main desktop.

If that's of any help.
