Xubuntu great as lowend end Gaming Server?

Asked by jcer93705

Yes I have ubuntu installed on my gaming server. And well its i think a 400 mhz and i have the latiest ubuntu
operating system but its slow, so I want to install Xubuntu, would it let me install run programs and
would it run just like ubuntu. I dunno if quake 3 would run on xubuntu but it does ubuntu but its a bit slow
also I have a hardware firewall so how can i disable both on xubuntu and ubuntu. If you could email directly
to <email address hidden>

The major difference between Ubuntu and Xubuntu are the environments, namely Gnome and Xfce (think of it as a kind of layer of graphics, it doesn't change the base of functionality of your system. I have KDE, Gnome and Xfce all installed and have no problems at all using the same directory structures). I'd actually recommend using Xfce, it's lighter and should have no trouble running the same binaries.

for a gaming server Xubuntu would probably be better. As it is less hardware intensive. For absoloute speed you could use Ubuntu server edition.

Can you help with this problem?
