I am also not using Xfce. The computer works just fine - no issues for the past 5y. I think I bought it in 2015.
Thanks for the reply. :-)Do you use X? If so, which display manager or desktop? What are the hardware specs and how does it hold up with heavy desktop usage?
Davidp.s. I should have stated that I am looking to replace my daily driver, a hot-rodded 2007 Dell Inspiron E1505 with over-spec Core 2 Duo 7400 processor, max RAM (2 GB, dual channel), 60 GB Intel Series 520 SSD, 1280x800 display, Stretch, and Xfce. It has a hard time keeping up with multiple Firefox browsers and/or tabs, 720p video can be marginal, and Fast Ethernet just isn't fast enough any more.
