Review: Xubuntu 7.04 revisited
One of the first things I suggest to potential Ubuntu users -- try Xubuntu and its Xfce desktop. It's lighter on resources than GNOME, as are the applications that go along with it.
But does Xubuntu live up to the hype? Is it as easy to use as Ubuntu? Will it satisfy both new and experienced Linux users? How does it compare with other Xfce-equipped distributions?
After trying quite a few Linux distributions that offer Xfce desktops (Slackware, Vector, ZenWalk, Debian), it was time to revisit Xubuntu 7.04, install it from scratch and see how it fares.
