Hi,

as I succeeded to install the base Ubuntu system without Xfce desktop to
Xbox, I informed a project manager of Ubuntu development team to send a
note to Canonical Ltd. (date: 2005) . 
So, Canonical Ltd. was the first I informed about the possibility of a new
distro "xUbuntu". 

The name "xUbuntu" means Ubuntu for Xbox or something like that.

The name "Xubuntu" , "xubuntu" or "XUbuntu" means Ubuntu with Xfce desktop
(MOTO team of Ubuntu).

OK, if you think it is to close I can change it.

Please make propositions about a fitting name.

Sincerely,
Dietmar Hubmann
