Xubuntu 11.04: Solid, Sleek, and Speedy

“While the main Ubuntu release is far and away the most popular,
that doesn’t mean that it’s the only arrow in the ‘buntu quiver.

hardware, or just happen to have much love for Xfce — there’s
Xubuntu. And it’s looking pretty good as of the Natty Narwhal
release.

“With Xubuntu, you don’t get an exact replica of the GNOME
desktop — but it’s a pretty slick desktop in its own right
that offers a similar experience, with the added benefit that it
doesn’t require 3D and is pretty snappy even on lightweight
hardware.”
