Latest Release: [http://xubuntu.org/get Xubuntu 7.10 with Xfce 4.4.1 Stable] |
|
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 latest release of Xubuntu is Xubuntu 7.10, codenamed "Gutsy Gibbon", which was released on October 18th, 2007.
Xubuntu 7.10 include Xfce 4.4.1, a faster theme thanks to Murrine engine, Bulletproof X and Graphical X configuration and all the features of the Gutsy release. Read the [http://www.xubuntu.org/news/gutsy/release Release Announcement] and the [wiki:GutsyGibbon/Xubuntu Release Notes] for more information about this extraordinary release.
Installing
Either:
See XubuntuReleases to download CD images. These images serve both as live CD and for installation (from the live CD environment); or
Do a server install of Ubuntu, or any install of the [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD "Minimal CD Image"] and then install the xubuntu-desktop package.
See also 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.
