Summary: Long overshadowed by its GNOME and KDE-based brethren, Xubuntu is a handy Ubuntu solution for older PCs or for users that want a lighter desktop footprint.

What does Xubuntu and Kansas school syllabi have in common? There shall be no Evolution in either! Xubuntu makes use of Thunderbird for mail and its own calendaring application Orage.

  • Photo gallery is awful

    Sorry guys but clicking on each picture and having the page reload is a real pain.
    Can't you embed a nice AJAX photo gallery in there?

  • xfce?

    I've tried out xubuntu and must say: ok, it is xfce, with a lot of gnome utilities. the login manager is kde (kdm) and the installer is also gnome...
    I just want to show, it isn't 100% xfce and that can be rather annoying...
    (ok, afaik this currently also isn't possible, but if I'm wrong please correct me)

  • XFCE 4.4.2

    I have just downloaded and run the latest Xubuntu 8.10 installer. Sorry to say that it comes with XFCE 4.4.2, NOT 4.6.

    In fact, you have to add the intrepid-backports repository to even get 4.6 (included in Jaunty or 9.04).

  • zenwalk?

    It doesn't compare to Zenwalk. If you really want to experience XFCE and the real power and simplicity of linux, give Zenwalk a try.

  • They upgrade later

    Later on in the images, you see them upgrade to Xfce 4.6.

    Maybe you should have looked at them all first.
