Hello I installed xubuntu on my daughters old computer to see if it would work any faster than her snail-like W2k. I took 3 goes as I overwrote another ubuntu (8.04) which had a 50MB /boot partition which was not enough for the immediate updates. So I had to repartition a couple of times increasing its size reformatting it in the end - leaving the /home and / partitions unreformatted (the swap file was too big and adjacent). I did have the menu bars the first time but not when it finally got itself installed and everything updated. I cannot find any menu anywhere that will put up these essential facilities - at least when I minimise a window it would be useful to see it there so I can open it again without having to try opening the application again. It would also be nice to have the updater visible. Can you help please. I am hopeful that it will seem good enough to please the princess and release the queen's new shiny macbook pro and her work desktop for her exclusive use.
