Xubuntu 11.10 Review – Linux Distro Reviews

A review of the Xfce variant of Ubuntu known as Xubuntu 11.10 Oneric Ocelot. Overall, a very lightweight, stable, well-performing distribution that utilises GTK 3 but still provides a user experience very similar to GNOME 2.x. Definitely a very nice option for anyone sick of ‘futuristic and newbie friendly desktops’. Acer Iconia A500 Honeycomb Tablet and openSUSE 12.1 Review coming soon!
