Actually, I made it. But then xubuntu just started out, the only thing
we knew was that it is for slower machines. But now, we know a bit
more; for instance that xfce 4.4 is turning out to be a real contender
to gnome. It is getting really elegant and more and more people like
it and install xubuntu even on faster machines. But there are other
things to that I think should be reflected in the distro's visual
appearance.
