[xubuntu-users] Xubuntu and/or ubuntu...

[Gary Charvat]

I hope I'm doing this right.

 

Dear Sir or Madam,

 

I'm semi-retired and just lost my job - so the lack of something to do has
urged me to take an unused HP Pavilion Laptop with the following:

 

AMD Turion 64 Mobile Technology ML-37 @ 1990 MHz w/ 1024 KB Cache

Memory Capacity = 4 GB currently w/ 1 GB

Hard Drives: C: 74.32 GB & D: 74.53 GB for a Total of 148.85 GB

Bios Version: F.33

OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional - Service 3

 

My project is to first backup all the data to a USB memory stick - AND -
then to blow-away the operating system, replacing it with Xubuntu w/Xcfe,
along with several user packages, e.g., LibreOffice or Apache Open Office,
GNU cash, etc.

 

In researching my project I read that one should install Xubuntu first, and
then install Xubuntu w/Xcfe.  Is this correct or does Xubuntu include
Ubuntu.  I want to be able to work in the command-line as well as the GUI
environments as my professional background is in Computer Techniques, the
forerunner to Technical Services, as well as being the IT/MIS Director/Dept
running an IBM AIX system environment.

 

 

Regards,

 

Gary
