I was looking for an Ubuntu variant that I could just install and be up and running quickly. Xubuntu seemed to do the trick. I tried the latest version 13.10. Once I added all my familiar programs that I was used to, it was a fun distro. I added the Nemo File Manager to replace PCMan which looks smilar to the Nautilus File Manager from Gnome. Also added Docky, Deluge, and Screenlets. Below are my screenshots.
