About
<p><b>Xubuntu</b> is a <a href="/pages/w/644265012362396">Canonical Ltd.</a> - recognized, community-maintained derivative of the <a href="/pages/w/112340385443617">Ubuntu</a> <a href="/pages/w/104066916297974">operating system</a>. The name <i>Xubuntu</i> is a <a href="/pages/w/111789205499087">portmanteau</a> of <i>Xfce</i> and <i>Ubuntu</i>, as it uses the <a href="/pages/w/103125319727805">Xfce</a> <a href="/pages/w/112167115477044">desktop environment</a>, instead of Ubuntu's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_%28user_interface%29" class="wikipedia">Unity</a>.</p><h2>Goals</h2><p>Xubuntu's goals are to:</p><h2>History</h2><p>Xubuntu was originally intended to be released at the same time as Ubuntu 5.10 <i>Breezy Badger</i>, 13 October 2005, but the work was not complete by that date. Instead the Xubuntu name was used for the <i>xubuntu-desktop</i> metapackage available through the <a href="/pages/w/106092596095959">Synaptic Package Manager</a> which installed the Xfce desktop.</p><p>The first official Xubuntu release, led by Jani Monoses, appeared on 1 June 2006, as part of the Ubuntu 6.06 <i>Dapper Drake</i> line, which also included <a href="/pages/w/108126262549262">Kubuntu</a> and <a href="/pages/w/112139832136110">Edubuntu</a>.</p><p>Cody A.W. Somerville developed a comprehensive strategy for the Xubuntu project named the <i>Xubuntu Strategy Document</i>. In early 2009 the document was awaiting a second reading by the Ubuntu Community Council.</p><p>In February 2009 <a href="/pages/w/109430545749805">Mark Shuttleworth</a> agreed that an official <a href="/pages/w/105613812806432">LXDE</a> version of Ubuntu, <a href="/pages/w/124458670931792">Lubuntu</a>, would be developed. The LXDE desktop uses the <a href="/pages/w/105596282808398">Openbox</a> window manager and, like Xubuntu, is intended to be a low-system-requirement, low-RAM environment for <a href="/pages/w/108597819164494">netbook</a>s, mobile devices and older PCs and will compete with Xubuntu in that niche.</p>
