if xfce is what you want, try a custom install (using dvd1) and just pick xfce instead of the gnome default during tasksel. you will get a few desktop applications like libreoffice and firefox esr, but those are easily removed if you don't want or want to replace them. using dvd1 as my install source, wired and wireless drivers were set up during install, were available during install, and were ready to go on first boot to xfce (on an am3 pavilion desktop test system).

that was $50 first year, $100 second year, $200 third year, per pc, plus upgrade cost to pro if you had a lesser edition.

from the wiki article
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem

If there were as many monkeys as there are atoms in the observable universe typing extremely fast for trillions of times the life of the universe, the probability of the monkeys replicating even a single page of Shakespeare is unfathomably small.
