Thank you for your interest in Xubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron - released in April 2008. This section is an introduction to Xubuntu. It explains the Xubuntu philosophy and roots, as well as introduces the Xubuntu desktop.

소개

Xubuntu is an entirely open source operating system built around the Linux kernel. The Xubuntu community - being a part of the larger Ubuntu community - is built around the ideals enshrined in the Ubuntu Philosophy: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customize and alter their software in whatever way they see fit. For those reasons, Xubuntu is build on the following principles:

  • Xubuntu will always be free of charge, and there is no extra fee for an "enterprise edition," we make our very best work available to everyone on the same Free terms.

  • Xubuntu includes the very best in translations and accessibility infrastructure that the free software community has to offer, making Xubuntu usable for as many people as possible.

  • Xubuntu is released regularly and predictably; a new release is made every six months. You can use the current stable release or the current development release. Each release is supported for at least 18 months.

  • Xubuntu is entirely committed to the principles of open source software development; we encourage people to use open source software, improve it and pass it on.

자매품인 우분투(그놈 데스크탑), 쿠분투(KDE 데스크탑)와 비교했을 때 주분투의 핵심적인 장점은:

  • 단순성. 주분투우분투 (그놈 데스크탑)와 쿠분투(KDE 데스크탑)의 다양한 모든 기능들을 제공하지는 않지만, 기본적인 기능과 깔끔한 유저 인터페이스에 초점을 맞출 것입니다.

  • Speed. With Xubuntu you will instantly feel the speed of the Xfce Desktop Environment, which has been built with low system requirements in mind. Don't worry if your hardware is not the latest and greatest - your computer will most likely feel quite fast with Xubuntu.

  • Elegance. Xubuntu comes with a modern, clean Look & Feel. Of course, the Desktop is completely customizable - you may choose from among many sets of icons, window borders, color sets, and so on.

기술적으로, 주분투는 가능한 한 GTK+2 프로그램만을 사용함으로써 그놈과 KDE 라이브러리에 대한 의존성을 없애려고 노력합니다.
