The difference is in the choice of packages installed by default. There are
a number of branding "meta packages" that are replaced when you create a
distro based on an upstream core. IIRC, the most notable of these is
"xubuntu-desktop". If you search the repos, you might notice a number of
other similarly named packages:
-kubuntu-desktop
-ubuntu-desktop
-lubuntu-desktop
-fubuntu-desktop
and so on. It's been a while since I last rebranded an ubuntu system, so
feel free to correct me if naming conventions have changed. Regardless,
these derivatives usually do nothing more than replace a small number of
metapackages in ubuntu with their own.
/etc/lsb-release is part of the distro core, and not something xubuntu will
ever modify.
Okay. So I got xfce with xubuntu, and Ubuntu underneath. That's fine.
Thanks.
