Thanks :-)

Asked a few folk on Twitter too and the suggestions were for Lubuntu and
Mint (xfce version).

Will prob give both those, and #! a go and see which I prefer.

Must admit, in an unrelated aside, how excellent this machine is. Fine,
it's 5 years old, but in perfect nick and for £150 I really can't complain.
Sustainable IT FTW!
