Trouble is one can spend a lot of time fixing cutting edge OSes, time 
that may be better spent on dev work. Been There, Done That. Was going 
to try F16 on my home pc but the list discussions have kyboshed that 
because I haven't got the time to play nowadays. Flat out developing 
Drupal Multi sites for a nonprofit organisation.

> You can use xfce or any GUI desktop that suits your needs.

As an aside, My daughter developed a Moodle site for a school project 
and wants her school to move to Moodle but they are fixated on something 
called a VLA, which is not a patch on Moodle and has few if any of 
Moodle's capabilities.
Please let us know how you are progressing.
