Xubuntu provides a pleasant Ubuntu desktop experience with the lightweight and simple Xfce4 desktop environment.
Xubuntu is a community project dedicated to enhancing the Ubuntu desktop experience even on older hardware. It achieves this by utilizing Xfce4 as the desktop environment and primarily GTK 2 applications. The Ubuntu universe has supported Xfce4 through the MOTUXfce team since Hoary and Breezy.
With Dapper, Xubuntu aims to be more than just an add-on to Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Edubuntu by producing installation and live CD images. The goal is to release Xubuntu simultaneously with Ubuntu, which has a release date of the first of June but a six-week delay. Therefore, Xubuntu shall utilize the latest robust Xfce 4.X code.
Overall, Xubuntu seeks to improve the Ubuntu experience on underpowered hardware while providing essential features through Xfce4 and other compatible software. It's a promising project worth checking out for those looking for a lightweight yet fully-functional Ubuntu desktop experience.
