? On the french portal http://linuxmao.org , they use Xubuntu as a base, and
some common documentations on how to setup Vanilla Ubuntu for multimedia
production, merged in a howto "setup Xubuntu for multimedia production". I

are happy with it, allowing them to produce their stuff on old or light
laptop/dektop/workstation.
