   Ahhh, OK.  Yes, I also use XFCE and dislike anything else after all    
   these years.

   Excellent.  It is an excellent distro from what I've seen, and what    
   you're seeing.  I'm a longtime Slackware user, and honestly can't see    
   myself switching away from it, but lately I've gotten a little fed up    
   with how it's going, and this distro (MX) is the only one I've found    
   that makes me even wonder if it's a possible replacement.  I use it on a    
   test/play laptop that I sometimes use while watching TV or something,    
   and am enjoying it quite a bit.  Thanks for your feedback!
