Thanks, but that's not what I was talking about. I'm sure there's
plenty of documentation within the operating system itself. The
reason for my email to the list was that a person in IRC who doesn't
use Linux was checking out the various derivatives of Ubuntu. When
that person went to the Xubuntu home page, they didn't find any
information that explained to them what the difference is between
Xubuntu and Ubuntu (or any of the other derivatives). This seems like
an oversight to me, so I thought I'd let the documentation team know
about it. (:
