lightening xubuntu

[Joshua Gardner]

There's also Exaile!, which isn't in the repositories but there are Ubuntu
.deb packages available on there website. (I don't have a link right now. If
I did I would give it to you. A couple seconds on google.com/linux found it
for me.) Exaile! is a GTK application similar to AmaroK. It's lightweight in
RAM and required libraries. Try it out.
