Xubuntu (IPA: /ˈzùbúntú/) is an official derivative of the Ubuntu open source operating system, using the Xfce desktop environment. Xubuntu is intended for use on less-powerful computers or those who seek a highly efficient desktop environment on faster systems, and uses mostly GTK+ applications.

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 a XFCE desktop. The first official Xubuntu release was released alongside the Ubuntu 6.06 line (including Kubuntu, and Edubuntu) code named Dapper Drake, on June 1, 2006.

A project similar to Xubuntu is Ubuntu Lite. It also aims to have a lightweight desktop, but completes the task with IceWM as opposed to Xfce.

xUbuntu,an PC/Xbox enabled live distro made its way onto xbox linux a while back.While not being very fast on Xbox, it stays true to its ubuntu roots.There has also been some controversy over the xUbuntu choice of name as it conflicts with Xubuntu.The obvious thing that made xUbuntu famous was that typing in the terminal:

# the shareef dont like it

produces an ASCII video of rock the casbah.Humurous and rousing.
