Xubuntu - Comes with XFCE desktop by default. Suitable for old
machines with low RAM and processor speeds. You get get XFCE desktop
on your Ubuntu installation by installing meta-package
xubuntu-desktop.

Gobuntu - It is supposed to be completely Free version of Ubuntu that
adheres strictly to Debian Free Software Guidelines. There are no
'restricted' and 'multiverse' sections. Also, AFAIK, Firefox is not
present since it is not compliant with DFSG.

UbuntuStudio - This version is targeted for audio/video artists. It
includes packages for audio/video editing and low latency kernels.
Don't ask me what low latency is, I don't know. :-D. Similar to
xubuntu, you can install ubuntustudio-desktop meta-package.
