xubuntu-users

[Ian Marks]

I have been using Xfce and Xubuntu for quite a while now. Although I am 
not a programmer I have subscribed to the developers list to keep up 
with what is happening. Personally I would appreciate a users list as I 
do not want to distract developers away from the continual development I 
appreciate with Xubuntu. Any problems I have had I have usually solved 
through the Ubuntu forums, but as some of these have been Xubuntu 
specific it would have been useful to have a Xubuntu specific users list 
which I believe would have sped up the process and made it easier to 
solve these issues.

Thank you to all who have made Xubuntu a great distro!
