== Xubuntu Core ==
Xubuntu Core is a slimmed down version of Xubuntu that doesn’t come with all the additional applications that the current Xubuntu desktop ISOs have. It essentially only ships Xfce and the basic look and feel of Xubuntu, so there will be no office suite, media players, etc, etc.
The obvious benefit is that this ISO (about 600MB) will be faster to download – especially interesting for those with limited connectivity – and fit on a CD, as well as only adding what *you* want.
I have been working on this for a couple releases now, and starting with Utopic it's available as a task and metapackage. There are ISOs which I've built, and starting with Wily, the plan is to produce official Xubuntu release ISOs on Ubuntu infrastructure.
=== Does this have anything to do with Snappy, Ubuntu Core, or Convergence? ===
Nope, not a dang thing.
=== Installation ===
The current official method is to download the link:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD[mini.iso], install, and when prompted, install the 'Xubuntu minimal installation' task. If you’d prefer to wait until after the installer finishes to install the Xubuntu core task, you can simply type `sudo apt-get install xubuntu-core^` (don’t forget the caret!) and away it’ll go.
Of courses, if you won't have internet during installation, or don't want to mess with the mini.iso, tasks, and the Debian installer, you can install from the ISO I've produced on the downloads page.
