Guys,

Ubuntu Mate seems like a fine choice as an alternative distro. Minimum
requirements are very low and yes, it does seems to have several of the
same default software choices. It is very reminiscent of Ubuntu 10.04 -
And yes, also a/any blue theme seems better than green (I just got deep
green car like none other I think I've ever seen. If it wasn't $1, I
wouldn't have accepted it. I suppose it's good that I'll never misplace
it in a parking lot.).
