LXLE breathed some new life into a few XP boxes, but on an IBM T60 with 1GB RAM, the machine still looked tired. After I put PORTEUS on the hard drive, it works like something out of StarTrek (well, not the original show - better than that
)! I love the graphical program interfaces - with functional fine detail they look like alien technology - long live skeumorphism! Down with the flat paradigm! I mean, if people like absolutely flat looking interfaces that's their problem, but when they force them on me in some puritanical zeal that's my problem. 
Small issue I am having: if I start too many things at once, some of them start hanging and shutting down. Am I possibly supposed to have created a swap partition? I am still wrapping my head around this OS that does not install thing. I wiped the disk first and created one ext4 partition.
One other small annoyance is that on startup it logs on as guest before I can intervene, and since I want to be root I always have to change users. I remember that this can be changed at the custom build stage, but I have a feeling that should not be necessary.
