Xubuntu offers appealing desktop alternative (tectonic)

[Posted February 17, 2007 by ris]

Tectonic has a review of Xubuntu. "Performance wise Xubuntu is everything I was hoping. It is light and fast. Clicking on the applications menu gives you immediate feedback. And unless you're running about five or six other applications at the time, opening a file browser or a terminal window is almost instantaneous. As I write this I have about four applications running, some with two or three windows open each. Clicking on the 'show desktop' applet hides all of the open six windows in just a second. On a slower machine this is not to be sneezed at."
