13.10, but it's support will be comparatively short-lived, and in
your last post you expressed concern as to stability -- wanting to
keep things simple and stable. 12.04, at this point, is really
12.04.3 (I think), so a good many issues have been ironed out. As
the previous commenter mentioned however, XFCE 4.8 has its
limitations, weather applet is one, but there have also been big
improvements in theme management, panel management (vertical is much
improved in 4.10) and the upcoming 4.12 will have *much* improved
multi-monitor support. There are pros and cons to both.<br>

Good luck with that. :-)<br>

<div> When you ask "what version", are you asking what
flavor of Xubuntu? There are many distros, such as
Voyager, for example, that are based on Xubuntu 12.04?</div>

<div>I am afraid you are confused between:<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://xubuntu.org/">http://xubuntu.org/</a>
- which is an Ubuntu Flavour <br>

<div>and<br>

Well no, I'm not confused at all. Voyager Live is a flavor of
Xubuntu, not XFCE per se. It's quite good. Quite beautiful (in my
opinion) but would probably be too much for the average windows
user. There are other distros that are "versions of Xubuntu". Unless
I'm mistaken, Linux Mint also has its "minty" version of Xubuntu (as
distinct from LMDE.) There's Linux Lite (I think) and Ubuntu Studio
as well. These are all Xubuntu-based. <br>
<br>
By the way, there's also Hybryde Linux. Your friend can try whatever
DE he likes in a single Distro.<br>
