The aim of the Xubuntu community project is to provide a nice Ubuntu desktop experience (even on older hardware) by using Xfce4 as the desktop environment and GTK+ 2 applications wherever possible.
Xfce4 has been supported in Ubuntu's universe by the [:MOTUXfce] team since Hoary and Breezy. For Dapper we went one step further and made Xubuntu a sibling of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Edubuntu by having desktop CD images generated for it. Xubuntu 6.06 LTS, Codename "Dapper Drake", has been released on June 1st 2006, shipping Xfce 4.4 beta1 code. Read the [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/xubuntunews/2006-06-01 Release Announcement] and the [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XubuntuDapperReleaseNotes Release Notes].
The Xubuntu Homepage can be reached at http://www.xubuntu.org, and our current release is Xubuntu 6.06 with Xfce 4.4 beta1.
