Xubuntu Gutsy Gibbon is out, and it seems to be transforming into a virtual Gnome clone. The more I read the changes, the more disappointed I get. Ditching the simplicity and speed of Xfce components with its much heftier Gnome counterparts, Xubuntu will be destined to be a mere shadow of Ubuntu. And not being an LTS release, I don't have a real need to get this version.

Plus, they integrated Firefox extensions to the Add/Remove panel. Bleh!
