A note
Unlike the Windows family of operating systems, an early machine does not require an early version of Ubuntu. If you are installing Xubuntu on an old PC or with early hardware, jump straight to the most recent version. It is not necessary to hunt down an old version of Ubuntu to use your PC. The newest version is the appropriate one. On the other hand, if you are completely new to Linux, you might want to install Ubuntu instead, since the GUI will make it easier to do things.
Requirements
- Your computer, of any architecture (which is to say, any manufacturer -- Apple, Intel or AMD64)
- A Xubuntu installation CD appropriate for your architecture. You can download the latest version.
- An Internet connection (preferably a fast one; you're going to be downloading a lot of material)
- One human being to type the commands ;)
Burning the CD
Regardless of which architecture or ISO image you choose, you must burn the image to a CD. You can not simply create a data cd, since that is not a bootable image. You can use either the DesktopCD (also called the LiveCD) or Alternate CD. The Alternate CD will install with less memory than the DesktopCD. Please see How|to Burn The ISO for help with burning the image.
Hardware requirements
Please refer to Installation/SystemRequirements for hardware requirements.
Tips for new users
Since this is a version of Linux, we do not have to reinstall the operating system when something breaks. Most of the time, we can fix what broke without a reinstallation. There are even users who try to see how long they can go without restarting the computer. There are times when we do have to reinstall parts of the operating system, but that is much easier. With a new version of Xubuntu, we expect to be able to upgrade without reinstalling each time, and we expect the programs in use to be used in the new version without reinstalling. This does not always happen, but most of the time, the developers are very successful in reaching this goal. With a bit of exploration, you will find most programs are readily available to you. You should not have to go out to the internet and search to find the programs to do what you want. Most of the time, those programs are packaged and ready for use. We do not normally need to worry about viruses in Xubuntu. If you maintain a data directory for Windows, you might need to have a virus scanner, but that is the exception. The installation process begins with setting your bios to boot from the cd.
Installation process
The installation process for Xubuntu is basically the same as for Ubuntu. Please refer to the Ubuntu Installation Guide for more information.
What do I once I have installed Xubuntu?
Use it. Surf the Internet with Firefox, chat with your friends with Pidgin, write a book in Abiword, and read your emails with Thunderbird. If you need help getting started, refer to Xubuntu.org Help & Support -section.
Installing without a Network Connection
To install Xubuntu to a computer without a network connection, you have to use Dapper Drake (6.06) or a later version. If this is not an option for you, you may find the AptMoveHowto page useful for installing the xubuntu-desktop or other packages to an offline machine.
