Hi Bill, this isn’t really about outliners or BasketNotes, but I did want to follow up on your comment that XFCE is the best desktop environment for old hardware. I’m thinking about installing Linux on some old hardware and so lightweight is what I would be looking for. I’ve seen XFCE on one of my brother’s computers, looks good. My question for you, is what distribution would you recommend for old hardware?

I just looked at this article - http://www.techradar.com/us/news/software/operating-systems/best-linux-distro-2012-five-we-recommend-1090058 - and it recommends the Bodhi distro (based on Ubuntu) as the best for speed, using the Enlightenment desktop and the Midori web browser.
