    why not a XUBUNTU 3rd party forum?

    Hi,
    Just a suggestion... why not open up a 3rd party forum for xubuntu here ( http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=46 )? I am pretty sure someone else wanted this as well, but couldn't find it...
    The xubuntu (xfce) posts are spread everywhere. This would help centralize solutions to those...
    thanks.

    For anyone insterested in xubuntu, I posted this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=561601

    The Xubuntu team has contacted us about a month ago I agreed to host their forum. They will contact me when they are ready according to them.

    That sounds great! It seems like Xubuntu (and Xfce) are starting to get a lot of support around here of late. It's not uncommon to go into the Gnome support forum and see several threads about Xfce issues. It'll be nice to have one place for all the Xfce related stuff.

    Why do you have to wait until the team ask you to open the forum? There are xfce posts on here now. A seperate forum would just keep them in one place making it more convenient.

    That's awesome because even though I have a good PC (Pentium 4 at 2.8 GHZ with 1gb ram and ati 9550 256), I want to give xubuntu a try. I am just wondering how well it runs KDE programs like Kopete and Konversation and a few others.

    Is Xubuntu a 3rd party project? I thought it is now a part of the Ubuntu team, including releasing Xubuntu CD's?

    Maybe it'll deserve a XFCE/Xubuntu section in addition to GNOME and KDE?

    I think that's a better spot for it. The 3rd party projects forums are pretty hidden away.

    Well, I wanted to start low but the more the 'merrier' -> XFCE / Xubuntu in addition to gnome / kde is a much better idea
