If you like to use online chat, make lightning fast changes and customizations to your computer or really enjoy fast performance, the latest version of Xubuntu might be for you.
The students at BYU-Idaho who are Linux users who have tried the latest version of Xubuntu have really enjoyed it. One of the main features of this version of Xubuntu is that it is not pre-loaded with un-wanted and un-need software that just slows down your computer. It was designed to start up and perform very quickly.
One feature that is useful for many students is the program for chatting called Pigeon. This is great for many people because it is setup to be able to run many types of chatting, such as MSN and Yahoo Messengers, AOL and others. The great thing is that only one program is needed, instead of multiple programs if people use different chat rooms. It is also simple very intuitive and simple to setup.
BYU-Idaho students have also figured out the ease of using the terminal to customize their computers and change themes. Usually people have to download themes and spend time with the setup and installation. A discovery was recently made that with a lot of themes, all you have to do is copy a code that is given on the themes website, paste it into the terminal and let the operating system do the rest. It often times takes just a few seconds to get started and you can have your computer fully customized in just a few minutes with this feature.
Another advantage is for students who have older computers that are starting to slow down and do not want to buy new computers. This operating system is great because even on an older machine, you can still navigate and do your work very fast because of how light Xubuntu is on the operating system. It is a great free solution when buying a new computer is not possible or desired.
