Solve : Streamlined Ubuntu = Xubuntu?

Answer»

For those who are interested, I have belatedly heard of a spin-off project from Ubuntu called >Xubuntu<. Its AIM is to provide a faster, more efficient experience, and thus is built around the Xfce desktop rather than KDE or Gnome. It would be better suited as a desktop machine for OLDER computers or in thin client scenarios.

I suspect that if you use it as a server-only DISTRIBUTION (not running X) it is probably no different from the main Ubuntu package tree and no faster. But for workstations, this makes it a very INTERESTING project indeed, and possibly a SERIOUS competitor for VectorLinux.
