Xubuntu is part of the Ubuntu family of Linux distributions, and is based on Debian, one of the most widely acclaimed, technologically advanced, and well-supported distributions. Xubuntu's primary focus is to provide an up-to-date and coherent Linux system for desktop computing, with a particular focus on maintaining a low memory footprint. By focusing on a quality desktop environment with a low memory footprint, Xubuntu produces an computing environment that is ideal for users with slightly older computers, or users who desire a more responsive desktop.

To create a lightweight and user-friendly desktop, Xubuntu developers carefully select software packages from the Ubuntu and Debian distributions, and from the Xfce and GNOME environments. Xubuntu also retains Debian's powerful package management system, allowing for easy installation and clean removal of programs. Unlike most distributions that ship with a large amount of software that may or may not be of use, Xubuntu's default list of packages is reduced to a number of important applications that are well-suited to Xubuntu's purpose.

The results of these efforts is that the Xubuntu team is able to release a new version featuring an optimal selection of today's best software once every 6 months. Xubuntu is available in flavors for i386 (386/486/Pentium(II/III/IV) and Athlon/Duron/Sempron processors), and AMD64 (Athlon64, Opteron, and new 64-bit Intel) processors.

The Xubuntu version numbering scheme is based on the date we release a version of the distribution. The version number comes from the year and month of the release rather than reflecting the actual version of the software.

You can only upgrade to the latest Xubuntu release if you are running the second most recent release. If you have an older release, you must upgrade to the next release after that, and so on until you are running the most recent version. For example, users of version 8.04 would first have to upgrade to version 8.10 before upgrading to version 9.10. An exception to this rule is with LTS (Long Term Support) releases. You can upgrade directly from the previous LTS release to the current release.
