I'm a sysadmin in South France, and I'm currently migrating several town 
halls and public libraries from MS Windows to Linux. Since some of the 
hardware is old - like PIII with only 64 to 128 MB RAM - I chose 
Slackware 11.0 as main distro, with a hand-compiled XFCE-RC2. It works 
really great, and people like it. Plus, on more recent hardware (dual 
processors, tons of RAM) you almost get whiplash from using it:oD

I can recommend Slackware as XFCE-friendly distro. I've written a series 
of build scripts for a complete office environment. If you choose 
Slackware, you can build the latest XFCE very easily from Robbie 
Workman's scripts also.

And since you describe yourself as a newbie, let me state that Slackware 
is an excellent "learning" distro.

Merry X-Mas,
