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.
