Latest Release: [http://xubuntu.org/get Xubuntu 6.10 with Xfce 4.4 RC1] |
|
Introduction
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].
If you are looking for the bleeding edge, you'll want to check out Xubuntu 6.10, Codename "Edgy Eft", which was released on October 26th 2006, shipping Xfce 4.4 RC1 code, Read the [http://xubuntu.org/news/6_10_released Release Announcement] for more information.
Installing
See XubuntuReleases to download CD images. These images serve both as live CD and for installation (from the live CD environment).
The next paragraph is still relevant if you plan to install Breezy or otherwise upgrade an existing install without downloading an ISO. However starting with Dapper this method is deprecated in favour of CD images (install or live+espresso)
You can install it by doing a server install of Ubuntu and then fetching and installing the xubuntu-desktop package. The complete process is described at InstallingXubuntu (english), InstalleerXubuntu (Dutch), InstalandoXubuntu (portuguese), [:InstalandoXubuntu ES] (spanish), InstallerXubuntu (french), InstallationXubuntu (German), and [http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/Xubuntu Xubuntu] on the Italian Wiki.
Package selection
As stated above, the criteria for packages to be included is: GTK+ 2 apps, preferably with no GNOME dependencies because of memory footprint issues that consequently affect general performance particularly on older hardware.
