My next question is going to be what to do about the family computers runing Ubuntu (son, mum-in-law and soon dad). Preferably an in place upgrade, but stick with the default of Gnome or switch? I'll put that off for a while!
I managed an in-place "upgrade" from ubuntu to xubuntu by uninstalling ubuntu-desktop package and installed xubuntu-desktop. I think that's all I had to do, but I also uninstalled some compiz stuff and changed desktop "manager" s/w because I had a slow machine with limited graphics capability. There are articles about how to switch desktops or flavours of ubuntu. Good luck!
Obviously backup first, in case it doesn't work!
