Extra, extra: Xubuntu version 12.10 will be based on Debian and not Ubuntu

Today, reading my tweets, this excellent news appeared for all those followers of this very good distro and lovers of XFCE:

Whose translation would be:

It's official: Xubuntu 12.10 will be based on Debian and not through Ubuntu! We welcome any name suggestions. More information soon, follow us!

What do you think? 😉

P.S: Hopefully it's not a joke XD.

    It's time to wrap name suggestions: Xebian, Xubian and DXubuntu are all great names, but the winner is @benonsoftware with… AprilFoolsOS!

      And what is that about?

    I had already commented on it in the forum, in the cafe.
    Happy April Fools day from the whole Xubuntu team. We are truly sorry for anyone
    Happy April Fools Day all the Xubuntu team. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
    P.S. I think I was not the only one.

      hahahaha, what a funny thing do they have, right? hahaha

    It is a half truth, after all Ubuntu is based on Debian XD

  6.   Manual of the Source said

    Well, it is a joke that should be taken very seriously. At the rate we are going, I think that Ubuntu-based distros will lose prominence in favor of those based directly on Debian, such as LMDE.

    I don't know if it's also a joke or something like that, but Kubuntu's Google+ profile suggests a new name for the distro due to the "decanonalization" it would be called kawaii as a first idea ...

      Kawaii in Japanese means pretty

      1.    Courage said

        That reminds me of Kawai, the piano brand

    2.    taregon said

      I like the concept 😀

    3.    Windousian said

      The idea was raised days before, so this is not a joke.

  8.   Razetsu said

    Joke, definitely.

    Wow, why rely on debian? Does the ubuntu kernel no longer meet expectations? ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/TechnicalOverview/Beta1 )

    When I read the release notes and saw that I no longer downloaded the iso to test it, exaggerated? Maybe, but I decided.

    As I comment, I hope it is not a joke.

    regards

    I didn't remember the salao this day ... I almost ate the story the first time hahaha .. but then I thought Xubuntu .. if I take the X off it is Ubuntu and no ... I don't think Xubuntu developers will switch to Debian. .

  13.   truko22 said

    One doubt, if ubuntu and xubuntu are based on debian is their packages, according to testing or experiment but they debug, modify and adapt these packages for their distro, but does debian benefit from this effort. 0.o?

    1.    TDE said

      There is feedback, minimal, but there is from Canonical. That is perhaps the biggest benefit Debian gets.

    Hahaha very good, I was already happy because I use xubuntu and then basing it on debian would not do anything other than make it lighter and more stable ... but it's all for April's fool day 🙁

  15.   anubis_linux said

    haha I had already made my mouth water .. with Xubuntu Based on Debian…. I did not think that the Ubuntu people made jokes, as they do in football when supposedly a club signs a player lol .. I almost believe it 😉

    1.    Courage said

      They make jokes, the difference is that this one is not funny since they provide biased information

  16.   Merlin The Debianite said

    This is seriously really thinking of making a version of xubuntu based on debian ?.

    The truth is, I think that the installation would not be exactly for newbies, maybe average users, I really do not believe it for some reason, and above they are saying that they are jokes but we must admit that xubuntu based on debian would be nothing more than a debian with XFCE it sounds like redundant and without grace in case it's a joke.
