Xubuntu is a rather impressive linux distribution. As the name (X-UBUNTU ) it is an XFCE spin of Ubuntu. Like its heavy weight brothers (ubuntu and kubuntu) is long term release and will be supported for five years.
The latest version released is 12.04 Precise Pangolin. Now comming to technicalties it has linux kernel 3.2 and xfce 4.8.3, firefox 11 . The file browser is Thunar, default music player parole, office applications just includes Abiword and Gnumeric. The command line package manger is aptitude. GUI package managment is done through Ubuntu Software centre and good old synaptic package manager.
The looks and feel of xubuntu is like the old gnome 2 but as you know its xfce and I have to admit xfce is getting better and better. Xubuntu is rock solid stable and quite snappy.
Xubuntu is available in both 32bit and 64bit edition. Definately give it a try click here to download.
