Xubuntu 14.04 Alpha 2 发布，基于Ubuntu的Linux发行

Xubuntu是一份基于Ubuntu的Linux发行。然而与Ubuntu不同的是，Xubuntu采用轻量级的Xfce桌面环境，并面向低端机器作了优化。该发行尽可能地只包含GTK+应用软件。

The second alpha release of Xubuntu 14.04 and several other members of the Ubuntu family (but without Ubuntu itself) is now ready for download and testing: " The Xubuntu team is happy to announce the immediate release of Xubuntu 14.04 Alpha 2. As often expected with very early cycle releases, this release has some issues which we will be working to resolve before the final release. Notably, it is impossible to successfully use the alpha 2 to set up an auto-resized system automatically. You will not be able to set the partition sizes. Other known issues: top ruler missing from AbiWord; keyboard input method closing unexpectedly; Ubiquity window spans monitor width; desktop items have background; Thunar not always automounting USB; resize bar missing when running auto-resize install option."
Here is the brief release announcement.
