Hi all

This is in My opinion totally but I feel that something must be said:

the typical XFCE is totally unlike Windows! I find that while the setups are 
getting better (the setup from Hoary was awful) they still do not look easy to 
use (the breezy one was substantially better). 

This from my experience has written off xfce as a possibility for recycling old 
hardware to give to the general public as it is usually quite unlike Windows. 
Also the general Menu (which seems optional) isn't so straight forward. It 
seems to depend on the magic buttons going along the bottom of the screen and 
using XFCE icons which I found difficult to understand.

If you want Xubuntu for the Linux geeks that want to see XFCE implemented in 
it's whole glory and forget about the practical or users side then you can 
argue it. However the X in Xubuntu only counts for one letter. The Ubuntu or 
Humanity Counts for the other 6! So to me and my understanding XUBUNTU should 
be human and use able first and foremost, then worry about the aesthetics of 
meeting XFCE guidelines. 

I am saying this so that XUBUNTU can fulfill a purpose and not just be a Linux 
distro for Linux users to which we don't need!
