    so... Xubuntu would be pronounced "zoo-boon-too"?

    Using the existing (admittedly silly) naming scheme, yes.

    Although I have to say I have a preference for X-buntu. It's got that whole skateboarding/snowboarding/BMXing vibe only in a completely dorky way.
    In his later years, Oofty Goofty used to like to sit on the front porch of the General Store and
    reminisce about the time he let the late, great John L. Sullivan hit him with a billiard cue.

    No, it would be pronounced !-ubuntu.

    Great guide. Xfce is awesome. It is much faster than Gnome or KDE and uses way less ram.

    Add Rox-filer as the file/background manager and you have a great desktop. That is fast and will work on a low resource system.
