[Dxspider-support] Server rebuilding

[Dirk Koopman]

Use xubuntu. It has a much lighter footprint and does what one expects 
(and has all the usual buttons in the right place on windows). It is the 
most windows (xp) like desktop.

If you have ubuntu installed then try 'apt install xubuntu-desktop' and 
reboot after the update

At the login prompt (and you will need to hunt for this because 
different flavours of the launcher hide it in different places), you 
will find a tab that offers to start a xubuntu session, select that and 
away you go.  The places to look for a tab are on the actual login 
dialog box (top right down arrow) or clicking on each of the (small) 
icons on the top right hand side of the screen until you find a menu 
with that option in it. It is there on the login screen, but they don't 
make it easy to find.

You only need to do this once. There after your choice "sticks" over 
logins and reboots until you change it again.
