I second this.
It is a pain to turn off all the background indexing crap, and hype integration from Ubuntu. On older computers it gets worse as resources are scarce.
I mean the whole point of using Ubuntu instead of Debian was /not/ having to spend weeks fine tuning the system.
FWIW, anyone tried using Lubuntu (LXDE based)?

Yes, briefly. It's ok, but I think I like Linux Mint LXDE better. The default configuration and package selection is more to my liking.
