Installing Xubuntu or XFCE on Ubuntu (LINUX based OS)

Hi, if you have a computer with lower specification (between 128 -256MB RAM), you may find that KDE and Gnome desktop-environment in Ubuntu are too slow on your computer. There is an another desktop-environment called XFCE which is relatively lighter weight.

To install XFCE desktop environment in an already existing Ubuntu/Kubuntu paste this command in Terminal without quotes

" sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install xubuntu-desktop "

and restart the PC for better measure. In the login screen use session and select Xubuntu

No need of installing the whole of the xubuntu-desktop, you just need to install xfce4 if you are already using Gnome/KDE
