   I use Ubuntu as my main OS every day :)  I'm using 10.04 LTS on my main   
   system, 12.04 LTS on the bbs server, Xubuntu 14.04 on my ham shack computer and   
   on the laptop.  I'm really taking a liking to XFCE over Gnome...although I'm a   
   big fan of Gnome (not Gnome 3).   
      
   After spending some time tweaking on XFCE on the laptop, I really like it.    
   It's lightweight and fast.   
      
   I do not use WINE for any Windows programs as I use the equivilent native linux   
   programs.  Homebank is very good for personal finances and   
   OpenOffice/LibreOffice work fine for most office stuff.
