Xubuntu - Linux for Human Beings!

17.

The "X" in Xubuntu stands for the Xfce graphical desktop environment, but the word "Ubuntu" represents both the technical and philosophical core of the operating system. "Ubuntu" is a South African ethical ideology focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other. The word comes from the Zulu and Xhosa languages. Ubuntu (pronounced "oo-BOON-too") is seen as a traditional African concept, is regarded as one of the founding principles of the new republic of South Africa and is connected to the idea of an African Renaissance.

Xubuntu is part of the Ubuntu family of Linux distributions, and is based on Debian, one of the most widely acclaimed, technologically advanced, and well-supported distributions, Xubuntu aims to create a distribution that provides an up-to-date and coherent Linux system for desktop and server computing. Xubuntu includes a number of carefully selected packages from the Debian distribution and retains its powerful package management system which allows easy installation and clean removal of programs. Unlike most distributions that ship with a large amount of software that may or may not be of use, Xubuntu's list of packages is reduced to a number of important applications of high quality.

By focusing on quality, Xubuntu produces a robust and feature-rich computing environment that is suitable for use in both home, commercial, and educational environments. The project takes the time required to focus on finer details and is able to release a version featuring the latest and greatest of today's software once every 6 months. Xubuntu is available in flavours for the i386 (386/486/Pentium(II/III/IV) and Athlon/Duron/Sempron processors), AMD64 (Athlon64, Opteron, and new 64-bit Intel processors). A community-supported PowerPC (iBook/Powerbook, G4 and G5) architecture architecture is also available.

As mentioned above, the default desktop environment for Xubuntu is <ulink url="http://www.xfce.org/">Xfce</ulink>, one of the top three Unix and Linux desktop suite and development platforms. In the words of Olivier Fourdan, the creator of the Xfce desktop environment, "Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment for various *NIX systems. Designed for productivity, it loads and executes applications fast, while conserving system resources."

33.

Another leading UNIX and Linux desktop is <ulink url="http://www.gnome.org/">GNOME</ulink>. Gnome is the default desktop environment of the <ulink url="http://www.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu</ulink> project. Xubuntu users are able to easily install and use the Gnome desktop on their system. To get a working install of Ubuntu on a Xubuntu system, install the <application>ubuntu-desktop</application> package. Once ubuntu-desktop is installed, you can choose to use either an Xfce or Gnome desktop environment.

34.

A third leading UNIX and Linux desktop is <ulink url="http://www.kde.org/">KDE</ulink>. The <ulink url="http://www.kubuntu.org">Kubuntu</ulink> project offers Ubuntu users an alternative choice to the Xfce or Gnome desktop environments. Thanks to the efforts of the Kubuntu team, users can also install and use the KDE desktop on their system. To get a working installation of Kubuntu, just install the <application>kubuntu-desktop</application> package. Once kubuntu-desktop is installed, you can also choose to use the KDE desktop environment when logging in to your computer.

36.

The Xubuntu version numbering scheme is based on the date we release a version of the distribution. The version number comes from the year and month of the release rather than reflecting the actual version of the software. The first official release of Xubuntu (Dapper Drake) was in June of 2006 so its version was 6.06. This version of Xubuntu (Gutsy Gibbon) was released in October 2007 so its version number is 7.10.

Xubuntu is developed and supported by a quickly growing community. The project is sponsored by <ulink url="http://www.canonical.com">Canonical Ltd.</ulink>, a holding company founded by Mark Shuttleworth. Canonical employs the core Ubuntu developers and offers support and consulting services for Ubuntu. More information about Canonical's support offerings can be found on the <ulink url="http://www.canonical.com">Canonical website</ulink>.

Although Canonical does not provide professional consulting services support for Xubuntu at this time, Xubuntu user support is available through the Xubuntu community. Information regarding community support can be found at the <ulink url="http://www.xubuntu.org/help">Help &amp; Support</ulink> page of the Xubuntu website.
