1) Yes, all the updates are compatible because Xubuntu is in fact Ubuntu but with some tweaks ... think of it like "diet ubuntu" if you like. 2) Worst case scenario is that those applications will pull in some gnome-lib dependencies and slow things down while the gnome-libs are taking up system memory. <a href="http://xfce.org">xfce.org</a> is a good resource, but I recommend you check out <a href="http://www.xubuntu.org">www.xubuntu.org</a> :) -Adam <div>On 1/31/07, Paul Welsh <<a href="mailto:paul-w@mail.adsl4less.com">paul-w@mail.adsl4less.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi all Installed Xubuntu 6.10 on my old Compaq Evo N110 PIII laptop and it's much swifter than Ubuntu, which is what I'd hoped. I'm a bit confused by the software updates that are available via Update Manager.  I have 59 available updates including, eg, gdm - GNOME Display Manager from version 2.1.6.1-0ubuntu4 to 2.1.6.1-0ubuntu4.1 and firefox from 2.0+0dfsg-0ubuntu3 to 2.0.0.1+0dfsg-0ubuntu0.6.1.0.  Are these updates compatible with Xfce? Second question.  Under Ubuntu I ran pptp, pptpconfig and tsclient.  This enabled me to connect to remote Windows servers over a VPN.  I can see these apps in Synaptic but tsclient for example looks like it's a GNOME app.  The <a href="http://www.xfce.org/">http://www.xfce.org/</a> page shows a fairly limited range of apps. -- xubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com </a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- -=:Max:=- --OpenPGP key: 5DBFA065--
