"In this week's issue of DistroWatch Weekly, a new Ubuntu derivative called Gnubuntu is mentioned. A little earlier in the announcement a reference to Xubuntu is given. Xubuntu is news to me! I just had to try it. I headed over to the Xubuntu site to figure this thing out. Their Introduction statements is as follows: "The aim of the Xubuntu community project is to provide a nice Ubuntu desktop experience by using Xfce4 as the desktop environment and GTK+ 2 applications wherever possible."

Most people do not understand or care to understand how their OS works. I think the idea of many different "buntu's" is exactly what is needed. Do you really expect some one with very limited ability to be able to do a server install, then apt-get everything they need and do so successfully. Most of the common folk I deal with do good to check their web mail without infecting their machine. If you are trying to build an OS that will appeal to the masses then you must follow the rule of "KISS" (Keep it Simple Stupid).
