Next Xubuntu community meeting

[Benoit]

All that answers are for guys like us. We can manage that issues.

But for a newcomer, who only uses the Ubuntu Software Center, with no 
skils at all about the command line,.. He just doesn't know he should 
have to maintain his distribution other than accept the frequent updates...

I have 4 relatives who have a Xubuntu I had installed for them. They are 
only users. They won't go inside the system to know how it works because 
in their former MSWindows environment it wasn't possible... What size of 
system partition I should prepare to keep 5 years of update ? Some of 
that relatives won't show up till next LTS release... or a fix to make 
(Xubuntu works fine except that issue and window decorator for one of 
the installations).

Most of that kernels won't be used anymore... For Ubuntu studio, we can 
keep 3 generic kernels, 3 real time kernels,..
