[xubuntu-users] Are *Ubuntu Based Distro's Dying?

[JMZ]

Doubt it.

The ubuntu family is one of the few linux systems which is plug-n-play.  
Just load the image disc in and go.  After that, the system will work 
just fine as is, or it can be improved.

I've run xubuntu on barebones systems, and have for years.  The great 
thing about linux versions is that it's easy to go computing on the 
cheap.  I feel bad for people who spend more on a mac system than the 
book value of my car.  Seriously, a $100 computer and some scrounged 
parts is all someone needs.  Heck, LXDE will run on a computer picked 
from the trash (like a pentium 4 or something).
