With this box I am trying to convince my father that linux is an excellent
replacement for windows98se for writing textdocuments and maybe some
scientific documents. He needs a machine with a simple gui, openoffice.org
and some other simple programs. For the window-manager I had xfce in
mind, which is as I have understood, the easiest to lern of the small
wm's.
