Xubuntu is an official derivative of the Ubuntu Linux distribution, using the Xfce desktop environment. Xubuntu is intended for users with less-powerful computers or those who seek a highly efficient desktop environment on faster systems.[1] It features mostly GTK+ applications.

History

Xubuntu was originally rumored to release alongside Breezy Badger (5.10) versions of the Ubuntu line, but an official release date was not decided upon, although the Xubuntu name was used to brand a metapackage (xubuntu-desktop) which would install an Xfce desktop. The first official Xubuntu release appeared on 2006-06-01, alongside the Ubuntu 6.06 line (including Kubuntu and Edubuntu) code named Dapper Drake. The current version is 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon).

A slightly customized version of Xubuntu is delivered with the Linutop. The main modifications are the inclusion of a kernel and an X.org driver that only support the Linutop's Geode LX CPU and its built-in graphic chip.

Differences from Ubuntu

Ubuntu uses the GNOME Desktop Environment as well as GNOME applications. Xubuntu uses the Xfce desktop environment which, using fewer system resources, works better with older computers. It is intended for users with less-powerful computers, or those that require a highly efficient desktop environment on faster systems. Xubuntu also features primarily GTK+ applications that are designed to use fewer resources than their GNOME counterparts.

Requirements

When installed to the hard disk, Xubuntu requires at least 1.5 gigabytes of hard-disk space. Once installed, Xubuntu can run with 64 MB RAM, but performs much better with at least 128 MB RAM.[2]
