Xubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Alpha 6 Review
Alpha 6 is the last alpha release of Xubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10. I wanted to give it a try on my Dell Inspiron 1150 notebook to see how far it had come along.
Xubuntu Intrepid Ibex uses the Linux kernel 2.6.27, XFCE 4.4.2, X.Org server 7.4, and a much improved Network Manager 0.7.0. For office applications you have Abiword 2.6.4 word processor, Gnumeric 1.8.3 spreadsheet, and Orange 4.5.14.0 Calendar. Graphics applications included the GIMP 2.4.7 and image viewer GPicView 0.1.9. In multimedia Xubuntu uses Totem 2.23.91 for video, Audacious 1.5.1 for music playback, and Brasero 0.8.2 for CD/DVD burning. Xubuntu includes two Web browsers, Firefox 3.0.2 and a lightweight newcomer, Midori 0.0.18. Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.16 is used for Email/news while Pidgin 2.5.1 is your IM client. GParted 0.3.8 is included for you to edit your partitions.
Xubuntu trys to keep hardware requirements lower than it’s Ubuntu or Kubuntu cousins by using the lighter window manager XFCE.
