TourXubuntu is a full-featured operating system with which you can get started right away - no need to install additional software for most day-to-day tasks.
Customizable
It's easy to customize Xubuntu to match your personal tastes. It takes but a few clicks to change the theme, amount and location of panels, font, and more. Install panel plugins and more applications for additional functionality using the application installer. Finding new software is a breeze and installation is just a click away. Once applications are installed, updates can be downloaded and installed automatically.
Customizing
Frequent releases
A new version of Xubuntu is released every six months, every fourth of which is a Long Term Support release, meaning that you are eligible to security updates for three years as opposed to the not-too-shabby-either eighteen months that you get with the normal releases.
Vibrant community
A vibrant community exists behind the Xubuntu project, making sure that there are always plenty of real people available who are all eager to help.
Key Applications
Xubuntu comes with the award-winning, extensible Firefox web browser, the light-weight yet feature-rich Abiword for all your word-processing needs, and Gnumeric for the creation and manipulation of spreadsheets. Both Gnumeric and Abiword are compatible with their respective popular file formats.
Some applications
Xubuntu 10.04, codenamed the "Lucid Lynx", is the latest and greatest version of Xubuntu, released on April 29th, 2010. Building on the success of Xubuntu 9.10, Xubuntu 10.04 looks forward to continuing the tradition of being a light-weight and easy-to-use Linux distribution built on top of the high-quality and feature-rich core of Ubuntu.
Some of the highlights of the 10.04 release include:
- Xubuntu now uses PulseAudio to provide an improved audio experience.
- Settings menu has been tidied to make it easier to configure your Xubuntu desktop.
- The "Ubuntu Software Center" introduced in Ubuntu 9.10 replaces the "Add/Remove ..." option provided in earlier Xubuntu versions.
- Xsane has been replaced in favor of SimpleScan to ease setup and operation of scanners.
- Gnumeric has been updated to version 1.10.1, resolving most of the issues seen in earlier Xubuntu versions.
- For game enthusiasts, Xubuntu comes with a revamped selection of games including classics such as Mahjongg, Sudoku and Solitaire.
- Due to incompatible changes in gnome-screensaver, xscreensaver is now the default screen saver.
- Prefer the classic Xfce desktop defaults? Xubuntu now offers users the choice to select between a classic Xfce session and a Xubuntu session.
- Xubuntu's theme, Albatross, has been updated to the latest version from the Shimmer team.
Bugs
- There is a critical bug in Abiword that causes a freeze for most users when anything under the Help menu is selected. This does cause you to lose the document you are working on. (519541)
- The Xubuntu documentation still advertises the 9.10 version.
