Is there any reason at all to have a separate document being maintained
for Xubuntu than Ubuntu? Given that the command line is all the same,
perhaps this document should be maintained as a generic one. That way,
we don't lose changes in different "versions" of the document. Note also
that this document was taken from the wiki so ideally we should ensure
that any improvements are reflected there first, and then carried over
to the repository towards the end of the release cycle.
