Agreeing with your last point, I liked Xubuntu for low-spec installs. But - out of the box, at least - Xubuntu updates seem to follow the Ubuntu package lists, and end up breaking the xfce desktop. Annoying! I don't think Xubuntu have the downstream developers, in order to keep their distro install-base intact. > My transition to gnome is now complete. > > Comments? Stick with it! Not sure what pushing unity desktop onto Ubuntu 11.04 will improve, other than Shuttleworth's self-perceived wow-factor versus Mr Gates. But maybe I'm wrong, and need to try more flash new graphical toys. -- Cheers, Rik _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
