Xubuntu 8.10 + Xfce 4.6: Screenshots

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.

The terminal program for Xfce is unsurprisingly called "Terminal".

  • 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.
