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. ||<tablestyle="width: 95%; margin: 10px 0 5px 0;" style="width: 40px; border: none; border-radius: 10px; font-size: 0.90em;" #e1eefa :> Support for Xubuntu users can be found on the [[http://xubuntu.org/help/|Help & Support]] page on our website. ||

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. ||<tablestyle="width: 95%; margin: 5px 0 10px 0;" style="width: 40px; border: none; border-radius: 10px; font-size: 0.90em;" #b7d1ea :> For information on how to contribute, see the [[http://xubuntu.org/contribute/|Get Involved]] page of our website. ||

Read the [http://xubuntu.org/news/feisty_release Release Announcement] and the [wiki:Xubuntu/ReleaseNotes/FeistyFawn Release Notes] for more information about this extraordinary release.

== 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.

== Support ==

If you require support, please see our "'''[http://xubuntu.com/help Help & Support]'''" section on our website.

== Contributing ==

Development discussion is taking place on the [http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel mailing list] and '''#xubuntu-devel''' on irc.freenode.net.
