It's slick, fast, and beautiful.

It has no trash can. It doesn't have as many options as KDE.

Hi,

I've tried also, it's nice but really doesn't have as many options as kde, lighter for ram and little bit faster.
Just install xubuntu-desktop to take a look

Cheers

Re: any one try Xubuntu?

I installed xubuntu-desktop and like it quite a bit, it gets confusing though with all the kde stuff included in the menu but i suspect that i can also run that stuff too

Beside apt-get how do I download the whole thing store in pendrive to install later, and how big is it ? btw I am using 6.0.6 LTS release.

---How do you delete ? Ubuntu screenshot shoes a trashcan.  I have it loaded on my iBook 466 because I had trouble getting Kubuntu to work.  Only missing trash can & the wifi to work.

I posted my Kubuntu prob in the noob section.  Only response was to try Xubuntu since it was smaller/lighter.

by no trash can, he means, when you delete, it gets deleted right away, and not moved to a trash bin like in windows, when you would then have to delete it later.

I want to try it as It could be brilliant for my old P3 that I managed to get Ubuntu onto but can I get it running from the installation = NO. The iso does not downlaod successfully so I have been foreced to order discs from some guys selling them. >

I've tried. I've had to back away because it loses my wireless connection.

xubuntu is nice, you have to manually configure more but it is very snappy. Oh, it's not brown.

Re: any one try Xubuntu?

Inspired by this forum I tried Xfce again. Nothing..and I mean nothing... no menu no image just a blank screen. I discovered by trial and error pressing alt-f4 will let me exit.

I'd like to speed up my laptop how can I get Xfce working?

I don't know if you are still watching this, but 6.10 has the trash can now. I have just switched from kubuntu to xubuntu. I like the look of it better. There was nothing wrong with kubuntu, I just tried xubuntu on another machine and liked the look and the way it does some things a little better.

What have you tried so far? Which version are you using? Do you know your type of video card on your machine?

[RevNomad]

Re: any one try Xubuntu?

Hmmm, I've tried everything I know (it didn't take long).

Video card? It's a Dell Latitude laptop and it's at home. I'll see if I can figure that out after work.

Thanks for the interest.
