This is a WUBI install of UBUNTU 11.04. The option to switch to CLASSIC is not included with a WUBI install so I have never seen the CLASSIC desktop.
I really do not like UNITY. I am also ignorant when it comes to Linux Desktops. Pretty confused between gnome, kde, xfce, unity except that I can guess these are simply different desktop environments .. except I have read that UNITY is a 'front end' for GNOME .. whatever that means.
What I would like to do is dump UNITY for XFCE if possible .. with this WUBI install. I have another computer running XUBUNTU 32-bit and I THINK it uses XFCE which I am accustomed to and like.
Am I dreaming or is this feasible? If it is, I assume I need to:
1. Install XFCE
2. Uninstall Unity
and it will automatically boot up to XFCE .. but I doubt it would be that simple.
Also .. seems a more logical thing is install XUBUNTU and I am not exactly sure why I wouldn't ... isn't UBUNTU somehow superior to XUBUNTU?
The XUBUNTU I have installed is on an old 32-bit Windows ME machine. I have a 'better' machine w/ a 64-bit dual core and figured it was well suited for UBUNTU rather than XUBUNTU for some PRESUMBED reason.
I guess my objective is to run UBUNTU 64 bit with a WUBI install and not use/have UNITY.
Thank you in advance.
