Xubuntu 14.10 images released for VMware and VirtualBox

Xubuntu is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu. Xubuntu uses the light-weight Xfce desktop environment and is optimised for lower-end machines. The new version of Xubuntu 14.10 has been released: “The Xubuntu team is pleased to announce the immediate release of Xubuntu 14.10. To celebrate the 14.10 code name ‘Utopic Unicorn’ and to demonstrate the easy customisability of Xubuntu, highlight colors have been turned pink for this release. You can easily revert this change by using the theme configuration application under the Settings Manager; simply turn Custom Highlight Colors ‘Off’ and click ‘Apply’. Of course, if you wish, you can change the highlight color to something you like better than the default blue. Starting with Xubuntu 14.10, you should use pkexec instead of gksudo for running graphical applications with root access from the terminal for improved security.” Read complete announcement here.
