Was an XP user forever...that being said...used it mainly to play cash on line poker. Started with Hold'em and switched to PLO. Then the big "no more XP support" announcement came. Did a Google search and found Ubuntu 14.04. Tried it out...didn't like it very much. Did another search and found Mint 17, really liked that one and was dual booting with XP until the hdd went on my HP. 
Shortly after that a friend gave me an old rebuilt Dell Dimension 2400 with a fresh XP install. It's too small for a full distro and a dual boot. Found Lubuntu and used that with a dual boot...found it much too unstable and throughly detest pcmanfm. Started another search trying to find a distro without pcmanfm as the file manager > . Found LL2 and am quite satiated. LL2 has all one could want and need, it's lightweight, easy to use, and pairs well as a dual boot in a baby box. If for some reason the XP messes up, will have no problem using LL2 as a stand alone. Good chance will be giving this Dell to my grandson to use, after repairing the HP 
Thanks
