History
Xubuntu was originally rumored to release alongside Breezy Badger (5.10) versions of the Ubuntu line, but an official release date was not decided upon, although the Xubuntu name was used for a metapackage (xubuntu-desktop) which would install an Xfce desktop. The first official Xubuntu release, led by Jani Monoses, appeared on June 1, 2006, alongside the Ubuntu 6.06 line (including Kubuntu and Edubuntu) code named Dapper Drake. The current version is 8.04 (Hardy Heron).
In October 2007, Monoses announced that he would be stepping down as the project lead and handing the reins over to Lionel Le Folgoc. Folgoc led the project until March 2008 at which time Cody A.W. Somerville was appointed by the Xubuntu community. Somerville developed a comprehensive strategy for the Xubuntu project named the "Xubuntu Strategy Document". At the time of writing, the document is currently awaiting a second reading by the Ubuntu Community Council.
Derivatives
A slightly customized version of Xubuntu is delivered with the Linutop. The main modifications are the inclusion of a kernel and an X.org driver that only supports the Linutop's Geode LX CPU and its built-in graphic chip.
eeeXubuntu is a variant of Xubuntu for the storage-constrained Asus Eee PC.
A minimal Xubuntu variant called "UserOS Ultra" was produced for Australia's PC User magazine.
PC/OS is a derivative of Xubuntu whose interface is made to look like BeOS.
System Requirements
Xubuntu can be installed with one of 2 CDs, both requiring at least 1.5GB of hard drive space. Installing with the Desktop CD requires 192 MB of RAM, while the Alternate CD (which uses a text based installer), requires 64 MB of RAM, and also allows access to additional options for the installation. Once installed, Xubuntu can run with 192 MB RAM, but it is strongly recommended to have at least 256 MB RAM.
