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. Welcome to the Xubuntu Team Wiki, a place for the Xubuntu community to discuss ideas and store team-related information. Documentation for Ubuntu users can be found on the [http://help.ubuntu.com/community Help Wiki].

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. You can edit almost all of the pages on this site.

== Current Long Term Release == == What is Xubuntu? ==

Xubuntu is an free, open source operating system for your computer suitable for both your desktop and laptop. Whether you use it at home, at school or at work Xubuntu contains all the applications you'll ever need, from word processing and email applications, to web server software and programming tools.

The goal of Xubuntu is to produce an easy to use distribution, based on Ubuntu, using Xfce as the graphical desktop, with a focus on integration, usability and performance, with a particular focus on low memory footprint. The integration in Xubuntu is at a configuration level, a toolkit level, and matching the underlying technology beneath the desktop in Ubuntu. Xubuntu will be built and developed as part of the wider Ubuntu community, based around the ideals and values of Ubuntu.

Xfce4 is a lightweight desktop environment. Designed for productivity, it loads and executes applications fast, while conserving system resources. Xfce4 has been supported in Ubuntu's universe since Hoary. In 2006, Xubuntu was born as a sibling of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Edubuntu.
