Rationale

Xubuntu is a Ubuntu derivative which leverages the XFCE desktop for speed and grace. The desired result will be an image which embraces the "light" Ubuntu design concept and displays well on a variety of hardware environments.

The theme of this release is Natty Narwhal. Inspiration can be taken from the colours of the Narwhal and the environment in which it lives.

Palette
