I haven't encountered that phrase before: "the spirit of the
derivative".<br>
What would you say is "the spirit" of Ubuntu? Hardly
lightweight, being a full blown Gnome distribution. Unity
is not lightweight either.<br>

It certainly seems so. But certainly not in "the spirit
of" Ubuntu. Why did they bother to call it Xubuntu and yet
leave out everything remotely like Ubuntu? <br>

<div>xubuntu (and all of the other derivatives for that matter)
has no impetus to follow along with whatever ubuntu is doing.
That's the whole point of a derivative distribution; to do
something different with the operating system. What's the
point in rolling a different distro based on the sources of
ubuntu if you're not going to change anything?</div>

I would certainly expect "lighter alternatives" if Xfce sat
on top of a CLI based derivative, but I repeat: Why did
they bother to call it Xubuntu and yet leave out everything
