I have XFCE running on 2 asus netbooks with 2GB ram, runs fine.  Can run libreoffice.  Use firefox qunatum and it runs without irritation.  Same results on an old Compaq celeron 386 with 2GB ram.  Sorry I dont have access to any of this hardware at the moment to post the processors, but the netbooks were Windows 7 era and the Compaq was Vista era, to give you an idea of the age.

My experience is 2GB is fine for XFCE, unless you need several application open at once and access large files.

I was running a minimal KDE on the netbooks and it was way too slow to boot from login to desktop. I used to run LXDE but found XFCE performs just as well.

XFCE works with LightDM, you just have to use/install elogind

apt-get install libpolkit-backend-elogind-1-0 

I have had no problem running LightDM and XFCE.

I am also interested in this type of indicator.  Is the PointLinux you mention from the PointLinux distro:http://pointlinux.org?  I searched around their website for access to packages and couldnt find it.  Trying to find a way to download the package instead of you having to email it individually.

Always enjoyed War, a fine example of why.  Very good, thanks.

Not for everyday use, but when I need to, for example; blow through a news site limited access, links2 works wonders.  I suspect its ability to access around their front-wall limits are its "not fully functional" style sheeting and javascript.  This lack of full functionality also should aid in security and anonymity.

This doesnt exactly address your original post, but when you need to access a certain site you want to exercise extra caution, links2 may be best.

wget is another option, but requires a little more work to view the content.

OpenRC logging may help with init process problems.  You can enable logging in /etc/rc.conf.  The log file will be /var/log/rc.log".

To enable OpenRC logging, edit /etc/rc.conf:

rc_logger="YES" 
rc_verbose=yes

OK, you are using OpenRC.

I am guessing that noip2 is an init script, and that it is supposed to run the actual program noip?  Assuming so...

There should be a noip2 script in /etc/init.d, does it exist?  If so, is it formatted correctly, similar to the other scripts in /etc/init.d?  You can post the contents if you like.

OpenRC commands you can use, you can post the output here if you like:

display all init scripts and what runlevel they run under:

rc-update show

noip2 should display

display what is setup to run by runlevel

rc-status -a

noip2 should display as started

manually run noip2

rc-service noip2 start

set noip2 to run automatically under runlevel default

rc-update add noip2 default

I have 1 PC that is troublesome in that the headphones and speakers are inverted; no sound unless I plug in headphones.  A long shot but plug in headphone and try sound.

Next I would try opening a terminal and use (enter) "alsamixer".  If pulseaudio is installed, hit F6 to select a sound card; down arrow off of "default" and select the "real" sound card.  Then play around with the volume levels.  right/left arrow to select, up/down arrow to adjust.  MM means mute, hit key "M" unmute.

A good test website for audio (atleast from the browser perspective) is http://hpr.dogphilosophy.net/test/.

What to install? My installs are minimal, but installation with non-free didnt have any sound problems; so not sure what you need as far as packages.  I have noticed that various media applications require a varied install of different codec packages.
