Xubuntu Y Lubuntu Son Distribuciones Alternativas Para Ubuntu, Basado En Los Entornos De Escritorio XFCE Y LXDE, Respectivamente Se suele recomendar Lubuntu como la opción más ligera ,es cierto, pero, por otro lado Xubuntu me ha encantado mucho a pesar del Unity (interfaz del escritorio, creada para el entorno de escritorio GNOME, y desarrollado por Canonical para la distribución de Ubuntu) Y diseñado con el propósito de aprovechar el espacio en pantallas pequeñas de los netbooks Lubuntu lo que hace es usar muchísima menos memoria, Requisitos Lubuntu: Xubuntu: Recurso LXDE XFCE RAM mínima para funcionar sin escritorio 50-60 MB 192 MB RAM mínima para funcionar escritorio 224 MB 512 MB RAM mínima recomendada de ejecutar 384 MB 512 MB RAM para instalar 160 MB 256 MB RAM para instalar con el CD Alternate 64 MB 64 MB (modo texto) XFCE recomienda 512 MB de RAM para un rendimiento óptimo y necesita al menos 256. La instalación alternativa de CD puede conformarse con sólo 64 MB de RAM. Lubuntu es aún más ligero que Xubuntu. Phoronix punto de referencia LXDE, XFCE, Gnome y KDE encontró que LXDE era el más ligero de todos ellos, seguido de XFCE. revista Linux revisó Lubuntu y encontró que utilizaba sólo la mitad de la RAM en comparación con XFCE. Xubuntu y Lubuntu son distribuciones alternativas para Ubuntu, basado en los entornos de escritorio XFCE y LXDE, respectivamente Ambos fueron diseñados para ser distribuciones "ligeros" y puede trabajar en máquinas con sólo 256 MB de RAM. Rendimiento en netbooks y ordenadores relativamente lentos es bueno. Ambos entornos de escritorio proporcionan herramientas adecuadas para el uso diario Los sistemas de escritorio más maduros y ricos en características suelen proporcionar un completo conjunto de herramientas de configuración, mientras que consumen más memoria y tardan más en iniciarse. En esta línea, XFCE es más ligero que el entorno de escritorio Gnome. LXDE es aún más ligero que XFCE, mientras que son más pobres en características. Las versiones más recientes tienden a necesitar más RAM: mientras Lubuntu 12.04 puede manejar 256 MB, se recomienda disponer de 384 MB al utilizar 14.04 LTS. Del mismo modo, las ediciones de 64 bits necesitan más memoria RAM que las ediciones de 32 bits, por lo que los usuarios con una CPU de 64 bits y poca RAM deberían o bien ofrecer más RAM o seguir con la edición de 32 bits. Lubuntu El gestor LXDE usa el administrador de ventanas Openbox e intenta ser un sistema operativo que demande pocos recursos de RAM, CPU y otros componentes, especialmente ideados para equipos portátiles de recursos limitados como netbooks, dispositivos móviles y computadores antiguos. Los requerimientos de hardware de Lubuntu/LXDE Un viejo CPU Pentium II o III entre 400-500 MHz es suficiente. Memoria RAM mínimo entre 192-256 MB o más xubuntu Xubuntu es una distribución Linux basada en Ubuntu. Está mantenida por la comunidad y es un derivado de Ubuntu oficialmente reconocido por Canonical, usando el entorno del escritorio xfce Xubuntu está diseñado para usuarios con computadores que poseen recursos limitados de sistema, o para usuarios que buscan un entorno de escritorio altamente . Requisitos mínimos: 800 MHz procesador 384 MB de memoria (RAM) Al menos 4 GB de disco Requisitos Recomendados: 1.5 GHz procesador 512 MB o más de memoria (RAM) 6 GB de disco. Kubuntu 14.04 Kubuntu usa el entorno KDE, muy diferente a Unity en cuanto es mucho más s configurable y completo. Además, por defecto cuenta con un aspecto muy parecido al de Windows, así que puede ser una buena opción si estás migrando. Esta nueva versión cuenta con el entorno KDE 4.13, que entre sus grandes novedades incluye búsqueda semántica de nueva generación. Esta nos permitirá realizar búsquedas en el sistema, nuestros archivos y los programas de manera más rápida, sencilla y consumiendo menos recursos. Otras novedades de Kubuntu 14.04 son: . El navegador por defecto es Firefox . Nuevo gestor de drivers . Nueva interfaz para el gestor de redes . Nueva herramienta de configuración del touchpad . KDE Connect, para integrar nuestro dispositivo Android con KDE, está disponible para descarga http://www.kubuntu.org/getkubuntu Xubuntu 14.04 Xubuntu no trae consigo grandes novedades más allá de una pequeña actualización de su escritorio xcfe, debido a retrasos en el desarrollo del entorno. Pese a todo, algunos cambios sí que han llegado a Xubuntu 14.04: . Nuevo menú de aplicaciones WhiskerMenu . Configuración de un solo panel por defecto en vez de 1 panel + 1 dock como hasta ahora. El panel soporta indicadores en gtk3, y por tanto es compatible con los de Ubuntu (control de reproductores de música, por ejemplo). Nueva pantalla de bloqueo Light Locker . Nueva herramienta de configuración de usuario . Soporte de sincronización vertical . http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ . Lubuntu 14.04 Lubuntu usa el entorno LXDE, famoso por ser muy ligero y austero. Si tienes una máquina con varios años encima y quieres darle una segunda juventud, esta es tu distro. Las novedades son: . El gestor de archivos PcManFM ahora tiene vista dual, edición de menús, configuración de la barra de herramientas, nueva pestaña con resultados de búsqueda más completos, y mucho mas. Firefox es el nuevo navegador por defecto . Nueva pantalla de bloqueo Light Locker pre-instalada pero no activada por defecto. Sólo Lubuntu tiene Gestor de paquetes Synaptic que funciona más rápido que otros gestores de paquetes http://lubuntu.net/ Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 Esta es la versión que sustituye Unity por el entorno Gnome, además de cambiar muchos programas instalados por defecto por su contrapartida de Gnome. Si te gusta la idea de Unity pero crees que le falta algo, deberías probar Gnome. Esta actualización incluye la esperada versión Gnome 3.10. Las novedades son: . Nuevo menú de sistema con configuración rápida de redes, brillo de pantalla, sonido, batería, bloqueo de pantalla y apagado. Nuevas pantallas de inicio y bloqueo. Las aplicaciones ahora pueden tener decoraciones de ventana exclusivas, como el navegador de archivos. Disponibles para descarga Gnome Weather, Gnome Maps, Gnome Photos y Gnome Music. Nueva sesión “clásica” incluida por defecto. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GetUbuntuGNOME Peculiaridades Ubuntu, Kubuntu y Ubuntu GNOME nave con LibreOffice completos, mientras que la nave ligera Xubuntu y Lubuntu con Abiword y Gnumeric. Sin embargo, la suite LibreOffice completa se puede instalar desde los repositorios de Ubuntu. Editores de imágenes como GIMP es pre-instalado sólo en Xubuntu. Lubuntu tiene mtPaint, un editor de imágenes ligero con funcionalidad limitada. Del mismo modo, el creador disco de arranque, un software para crear USBs en vivo de arranque, no se encuentra en Xubuntu y Ubuntu GNOME si bien está presente en los otros tres. Administrador de configuración integrada está presente en todo, salvo Lubuntu. Así pues, si usted es un principiante Linux, Lubuntu puede darle un mal rato si todo no funciona bien desde el principio. Kubuntu, Ubuntu y Ubuntu GNOME tiene los gerentes de ajustes mejor integrados seguido de Xubuntu. De todos modos, se trata de diferencias menores que estoy señalando. Mayormente las distribuciones intentan proporcionar las aplicaciones comunes que se requieren para el uso regular y cualquier cosa que necesite extra, se puede descargar desde los repositorios de Ubuntu Utopic. Cada una de estas distros tienen un gestor de paquetes como Ubuntu Software Center (Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME), Lubuntu Software Center y Muon Discover (Kubuntu). Son fáciles de usar y tienen buenas opciones de búsqueda. Sólo Lubuntu tiene Gestor de paquetes Synaptic que funciona más rápido que otros gestores de paquetes. .

The desktop CD allows you to try Xubuntu without changing your computer at all, and at your option to install it permanently later. This type of CD is what most people will want to use. You will need at least 192MB of RAM to install from this CD. There are two images available, each for a different type of computer: Mac (PowerPC) and IBM-PPC (POWER5) desktop CD For Apple Macintosh G3, G4, and G5 computers, including iBooks and PowerBooks as well as IBM OpenPower machines. PlayStation 3 desktop CD For Sony PlayStation 3 systems. (This defaults to installing Xubuntu permanently, since there is usually not enough memory to try out the full desktop system and run the installer at the same time. An alternative boot option to try Xubuntu without changing your computer is available.) Alternate install CD. The alternate install CD allows you to perform certain specialist installations of Xubuntu. It provides for the following situations: setting up automated deployments; upgrading from older installations without network access; LVM and/or RAID partitioning; installs on systems with less than about 192MB of RAM (although note that low-memory systems may not be able to run a full desktop environment reasonably).

  • Get More Peaceful Night Sleep on Ubuntu, Mint and Xubuntu Linux Using Gtk-Redshift
    Walking in Light with Christ - Faith, Computing, Diary Articles & tips and tricks on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, mobile phone articles, religious related texts http://www.pc-freak.net/blog Get more peaceful night sleep on Ubuntu, Mint and Xubuntu Linux using gtk-redshift Author : admin If you want to have more peaceful night sleep when working on Ubuntu or other Debian based Linux distro, be sure to have gtk-redshift installed. It is a little program that simply changes the color gamma of screen and makes your screen look more reddish at night. According to many scientific research done on how we humans react, whether using computer late at night. It is concluded that less bright colors and especially reddish color gamma relaxes our eye strain and thus makes it easier for us to get a sleep quickly once in bed. gtk-redshift is available in latest Ubuntu 12.04 as well as on other Ubuntu derivatives (Xubuntu, Mint Linux) etc. Easiest way to install it is via respective GUI Package Manager or via good old Synaptic (GUI aptitude frontend). I personally prefer to always install Synaptic on new Desktop Linux PCs, use it as package GUI frontend, for the simple reason it offers one very similar "unified" package Installer outlook across different Linux distros. The quickest way to use GUI version of Redshift is to install with apt: root@xubuntu:~# apt-get install --yes gtk-redshift .... To further use it it needs one time to be run with color gamma paraments, launch it first time via terminal with: user@xubuntu:~$ gtk-redshift -l 52.5:13.4 It is a good idea to make a tiny shell script wrapper with good settings for gtk-redshift and later use this shell wrapper as launcher : root@xubuntu:~# echo '#!/bin/sh' >> /usr/local/bin/gtk-redshift root@xubuntu:~# echo 'gtk-redshift' >> /usr/local/bin/gtk-redshift root@xubuntu:~# chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gtk-redshift From then on, to launch it you can directly open it via terminal user@xubuntu:~$ /usr/local/bin/gtk-redshift To make the program permanently work, make it run via respective GUI environment startup .
