[leglug-users] Running Linux on old PCs

[Abdallah Deeb]

I was checking the Ubuntu site, new release in 7 days, and I noticed the
Xubuntu release coming soon. From that page http://www.xubuntu.org/ :
"Xubuntu is a complete GNU/Linux <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux>
based operating
system <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system> with an
Ubuntu<http://www.ubuntu.com/>base. It is lighter on system
requirements <http://www.xubuntu.org/get#requirements> and tends to be more
efficient than Ubuntu with GNOME <http://www.gnome.org/> or
KDE<http://www.kde.org/>,
since it uses the Xfce <http://www.xfce.org/> Desktop
environment<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_Environment>,
which makes it ideal for old or low-end machines, thin-client networks, or
for those who would like to get more performance out of their hardware."
