This page is to discuss and list ideas for this specification. For Karmic, it is planned to make Xubuntu lighter by choosing applications which use less resources.

Suggested Applications

• Claws Mail to replace Mozilla Thunderbird
• VLC to replace Totem (however, it maybe important to consider that VLC uses qt4.)
• Xfce Power Manager to replace Gnome Power Manager
• Xfce Task Manager to replace Gnome System Monitor
• Xfce-notifyd to replace Notification Daemon
• Xfburn to replace Brasero
• Midori installed by default, I would not recommend replacing it with Firefox. Midori does not have all the features as Firefox and is very buggy (crashes when loading certain webpages, open/closing tabs).
