[xubuntu-users] initial xubuntu user notes

[Cody A.W. Somerville]

Hi Jim,

I run Xubuntu Feisty Fawn on my sole 333mhz w/ 256mb of ram (used to run it
on 128mb before Christmas). I too can report that Xubuntu runs very well!

 As for testing, make sure to check out
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Xubuntu/Current

Thanks,

Cody A.W. Somerville
