I'm currently looking into Linux and Ubuntu has caught my eye. However, I've noticed that Xubuntu appears to be the same thing, but lighter on resources. If Xubuntu is so much faster, why is Ubuntu more popular? It doesn't sound like their are more features. Am I missing something?
I think either will be fine for me. I'm fairly computer literate, but I'm not very technically minded. Can't do codes for shit. But I think either one will be fine for me. Ubuntu seems to have more support because of it's popularity- and it looks cooler. My machine will have enough memory to handle either of them. Maybe I'll obtain a Live disk for both and try them out.
