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.

"Free software" doesn't mean that you should not have to pay for it (although Xubuntu is committed to being free of charge as well); it means that you should be able to use the software in any way you wish: the code that makes up free software is available for anyone to download, change, fix, and use in any way. Alongside ideological benefits, this freedom also has technical advantages: when programs are developed, the hard work of others can be used and built upon. With non-free software, this cannot happen and when programs are developed, they have to start from scratch. For this reason the development of free software is fast, efficient and exciting!

To create a lightweight and user-friendly desktop, Xubuntu developers carefully select software packages from the Ubuntu and Debian distributions, and from the Xfce and GNOME environments. Xubuntu also retains Debian's powerful package management system, allowing for 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 default list of packages is reduced to a number of important applications that are well-suited to Xubuntu's purpose.
