Xubuntu - Xfce and Ubuntu Dynamite

Welcome to Xubuntu!

Xubuntu is a complete GNU/Linux based system with an Ubuntu base. It's lighter, and more efficient than Ubuntu with GNOME or KDE, since it uses the Xfce Desktop environment, which makes it ideal for old or low-end machines, as well as thin-client networks.

Xubuntu is shipped with top quality packages from the Ubuntu archives. Xubuntu will use, as far as possible, GTK2 applications, ensuring maximum efficiency. If you wish, you can install any KDE or GNOME application on your Xubuntu desktop system, as it shares the Ubuntu main and universe package selection.

The Xubuntu community makes use of the Ubuntu Wiki, a collaborative environment where the community can edit all pages as needed. Important wiki pages are listed to your right.

Xubuntu includes the very best in translations and accessibility infrastructure that the Free Software community has to offer, to make Xubuntu usable by as many people as possible.
Xubuntu is released regularly and predictably; a new release is made every six months. You can use the current stable release or the current development release. Each release is supported with security updates for at least 18 months.
