rather than installing, why not try live cd's or virtual machines?
This way you can try any Ubuntu variant or whatver else you want.

if it's any consolation, I find XP to be too cluttered, with too much 
overhead.  I use Xubuntu even though I have lotsa horsepower.  Tried kde 
but it bothers me.

The only problem I see is that XFCE isn't as tightly integrated with 
Ubuntu as it should be.  That aside, it's running on all of my machines 
at home and work, plus a laptop.  The only exception is one trial of 
PClinuxOS.

I sure hope so.  Maybe I'll get a chance to give back....
