Impressions: Xubuntu (5.10)

Brian writes “In this week’s issue of DistroWatch Weekly, a new Ubuntu derivative called Gnubuntu is mentioned. A little earlier in the announcement a reference to Xubuntu is given. Xubuntu is news to me! I just had to try it.

I headed over to the Xubuntu site to figure this thing out. Their Introduction statements is as follows: “The aim of the Xubuntu community project is to provide a nice Ubuntu desktop experience (even on older hardware) by using Xfce4 as the desktop environment and GTK+ 2 applications wherever possible.”
