The name <phrase>Xubuntu</phrase> indicates the combination of the Xfce Desktop Environment with <phrase>Ubuntu</phrase>. Xfce used to stand for "XForms Common Environment", but since it's not based on XForms anymore, does not mean anything today. <phrase>Ubuntu</phrase> means approximately "humanity towards others" in the languages of Zulu and Xhosa. Combined, it does not really mean anything.

Linux is inspired by the Unix operating system which first appeared in 1969, and has been in continous use and development ever since. Many of the design conventions behind Unix also exist in Linux and are central to understanding the basics of the system.

Unix was primarily oriented towards the command line interface, and that legacy is carried on in Linux. Thus, the graphical user interface with its windows, icons and menus are built on top of a basic command line interface. Furthermore, this means that the Linux file system is structured to be easily manageable and accessible from the command line.
