So why should one pick Xubuntu in the first place, that's the important question to ask (y)ourselves. P.s., i am not using Mint myself, don't intend to advocate it and am still sticking to Xubuntu (for now), but you have to admit this is where we are missing the boat. Xubuntu has no convincing message to convey in any field, except that it's "sort of like Ubuntu, but a little less functional and a little less bloated". --</blockquote></div> Yes, the main question now seems to be Xubuntu's direction which, as Cody said, noone really knows. Unfortunately, none of the devs have responded to my question of what they think Xubuntu's goals are [1]. Without a final word on Xubuntu's goal, this problem will always be waiting to surface.
